Viewings
Having identified a potentially suitable property, we will arrange a viewing. Our office hours are 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday and 09:00 to 13:00 on a Saturday, subject of course to the Landlords permission. All viewings will be accompanied by a member of staff, who will be able to provide immediate advice and answer any questions you may have.
Offer/Application
Having decided on a property, you will need to complete an online application form. At this time any details or requirements can be provisionally agreed, such as occupancy date, duration of the letting, etc.
References
We will take references on behalf of the Landlord. Normally these will include your employer, any former landlord and a character reference. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. These will be done by an independent body and the outcome will usually be final. As a rough guide we recommend that tenants ensure the rent is less than or equal to 40% of the prospective Tenant's/Guarantor's salary/income with a clean credit history. Tenants are usually required to be prior residents in the UK for at least 6 months.
Where a Tenant is unable to meet the required income or credit checks, the Tenant may have a Guarantor agree to underwrite any rent liabilities.
Deposit
A deposit (or 'bond') is normally required prior to occupation. This is normally equal to five weeks rent. Check with our representative. Where we are managing the property, this deposit will be either; a) held by us and covered by insurance, or b) forwarded to the government authorised custodial body. We will inform you in writing of which scheme is used. Where we are not managing the property any tenancy deposit which is required will be taken by the Landlord. The deposit is held to cover any breakages, damage, rent arrears or other tenant liabilities. Where we are managing, at the end of the tenancy we will check the property in the presence of the Tenant and assess any damages and deductions due. Please note that the deposit cannot be used by the Tenant to cover rent.
Rent
Rents are normally quoted on a calendar month basis. In addition, the Tenant is usually responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs.
Rents are payable by standing order (unless alternative arrangements are agreed in advance) to our Company bank account monthly in advance, with the first month's rent due before taking occupation of the premises.
