Finding a property The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot assist dss claimants. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months. Viewings Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and Saturdays, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have. Reserving the property Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding deposit', usually equivalent to one week's rent. This will be held by us for a period of 15 days unless we agree otherwise. At the end of the 15 day period (or such longer period as we may agree) the deposit will be refunded to you or be offset against your rent or tenancy deposit as agreed unless any relevant person (including any guarantor(s)) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign any required documentation (including the Tenancy Agreement and/or Deed of Guarantee) References As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college) and a previous or current landlord, and we will undertake a credit check. We may also require a personal reference and/or a guarantor. If we do require a guarantor, please note they will also need to be referenced. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references. Rents Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account. Deposit A tenancy deposit equivalent to 5 weeks' rent (or 6 weeks' rent for rents of £50,000 or more per year) will be held by an approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme (usually The Deposit Protection Service) throughout the tenancy term. This is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent. Full details about the Deposit Protection Service can be found at www.depositprotection.com. Other Permitted Fees we may charge during the Tenancy
