Tenant Fees & Charges
Potential Tenants...
​If your looking to rent with us, we offer a very low holding fee and NO HIDDEN COSTS! We also acceppt DSS, providing you have a guarantor in place. We generally advise between 2-4 weeks between paying the admin fee and moving in. If you see a property you are interested in, please feel free to call the office or send us an email.
Before You Move In
Holding
Fee
£100 - This covers the cost of the paperwork, application process and acts as a deposit for the property, where we take it off the market once paid.*
Please Note:- This is a non-refundable payment and does not constitute any other payment.
Guarantor
Fee
If you are in receipt of DSS** you will need a guarantor. This has to be either a homeowner or someone who has been in full time employment earning a minimum of £15,000 per annum. You will not pass the credit check without one.
​
​If you are in full time employment, needing a guarantor is your choice. It is advisable if you have had any CCJ's within the last 7 years or have a bad credit rating.
Please
Note
*If you fail the credit check we cannot move forward with your application and the property will go back on the market, unless a guarantor can be provided.
**Housing Benefits are put in place for your benefit, not ours. Regardless of any benefit you may receive, the rent must be paid on its due date and in full.
Moving In
Move In
Day
On the Move In Day we require the first months rent and the same equivalent for the bond in cash. For the months thereafter we advise setting up a standing order. The bond is in place for protection of the property. When the time comes you wish to move on, providing the property is in an acceptable condition you will get your full bond back. We use the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) which is the government based service that holds your bond until you move out.
Contract
All of our contracts consist of a 6 Month Fixed period, where the tenancy is reviewed before the expiry date. Providing there are no arrears on the account and the property is kept to a respectful standard we will offer a rolling term agreement.

Pet Deposit
£100
