Proceeding with a tenancy:

References

Prior to a tenancy being offered, credit, employer, previous landlord and bank references may be obtained in respect of all tenants by professional referencing agencies acting on our behalf. Any offer of a Tenancy is strictly subject to satisfactory references being passed.

Proof of Identity

You must satisfy a Right to Rent check, as this is required by law. We also require proof of address, such as a utility or council tax bill in your name at your current address. From companies, we require proof of identity of the director or authorised signatory, as well as proof of directorship or proof of authority to sign.

Initial Payment

If you are interested in renting one of our properties, you will be expected to pay a holding deposit equivalent to one week’s rental. Once this has been paid, we will stop advertising the Property.

In the event of the parties proceeding with the tenancy, we will refund the holding deposit to you. This will usually be by way of making an equivalent deduction from the move in monies required from you before check in. Unless informed otherwise, it will be taken against the Rent payable.

If the Landlord decides not to rent the Property or an agreement is not reached before the Deadline for Agreement (provided you are not at fault), we will refund the holding deposit to you in full.

If you provide false or misleading information which reasonably affects the Landlord’s decision to let the Property to you, or if you fail a right to rent check, or if you withdraw from the proposed agreement, or if you fail to take all reasonable steps to enter an agreement when the Landlord has done so, your holding deposit will be non-refundable.
