As soon as a suitable property has been found, you will need to complete reference application forms. We utilise the services of a credit-referencing agency to take up the following references, here is an example of just a few of the references sought:

• Confirmation of employment, salary confirmation.
• Personal & Photographic identification (passport or driving licence).
• Previous Landlord references.
• Students (Guarantor or proof or funding).
• Self-Employed (Accountants references, trading details etc)

All administration/reference fees are due at the start of the application process once the offer has been verbally agreed and will secure the property for you subject to satisfactory references being received on behalf of all applicable tenants. The administration fee covering preparation of the tenancy documentation and any other contract/administrative paperwork is £150.00 plus VAT per tenancy, £200.00 plus VAT in respect of a Company Let, and £40.00 + VAT per applicant per reference application. Should a guarantor be required then a further £40.00 + VAT payment per guarantor will be required. These fees are fully refundable in the event of the landlord withdrawing from the deal. PLEASE NOTE THAT SHOULD YOUR REFERENCE APPLICATIONS BE UNSUCCESSFUL THEN THE REFERENCE FEE/S IS NON REFUNDABLE. It is imperative that you disclose all relevant facts that may adversely affect your reference outcome, prior to entering into the above. It may save you money.

Once a moving date has been agreed and references have all been approved by the landlord, the tenancy agreement will need to be signed by all parties and the initial monies in full will become due less any holding deposit previously paid: This is made up of the following:

• Deposit normally equal to six weeks rent.
• The first months rent in advance. (rent is worked out on a per calendar month basis), which is, if you are not  aware;  the weekly rent, multiplied by 52 weeks and divided by twelve months to give the per calendar month rental figure.

The above monies need to be in a cleared form before the tenancy is able to commence, payment by means of either a bankers draft, cash or paid directly into our client bank account and showing as cleared.

Rental payments are always made by standing order from the tenants’ bank account to the landlord’s bank account, with the exception of managed properties whereby the rental payment is made to us.

If we are instructed as managing agents for your property, we will carry out quarterly inspections to assess the condition of the property and that everything is being kept in a satisfactory condition. We will always arrange this with you at a mutually convenient time.

Council Tax & Utilities

It is the tenant’s responsibility to inform the utility companies of their occupation of the property at the commencement of the tenancy, and to pay council tax to the local authority. Students, who may be exempt from the payment of council tax, are responsible for informing the Local Authority of this. Wherever applicable VAT will be charged at the current VAT rate.
