Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings
and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member
of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer
(or college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require
a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit
check will be undertaken. 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 security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must be paid,
and will be held by The Deposit Protection Service (The DPS), in
accordance with the Terms and Conditions of The DPS. 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.
Fees
We charge £125 per applicant to cover administration and referencing costs, a proportion of which is refunded if the tenancy does not proceed. Please give us a call on 01278 425 242
