Tenant Fees - Permitted fees for tenants:

In order for the Landlord to agree to process your application and to suspend advertising the subject property as being available, the proposed Tenant will be required to pay a Holding Deposit equating to one weeks rent.

A deadline for agreement will be agreed and the proposed Tenant will be required to enter into a legally binding conditional contract to create a specific future date.

Should the proposed Tenancy not proceed due to no fault of the Tenant, for example, the Landlord withdraws from the agreement, then the Holding Deposit will be refunded in full to the Tenant.

Should the Prospective Tenant:

1. Withdraw from this contract before entering into the tenancy agreement,
2. Provide false information for referencing,
3. Fail to act reasonably to enter into the tenancy before the deadline for agreement,
4. Fail Right to Rent checks,

Then they will be liable for the reasonable costs incurred by the Landlord and his Agent up to the value of the Holding Deposit.

The following costs will be deducted from the Holding Deposit. Any surplus of the Holding Deposit will be returned to the Prospective Tenant, without interest, as soon as possible. A refund to any one of the joint and several Prospective Tenants will be considered adequate as a total refund to all concerned. The costs that may be deducted from the Holding Deposit can include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Costs of any references or credit checks sought
2. Costs of any administration undertaken to prepare for the tenancy
3. Costs of re-advertising the property to let
4. Costs of any guarantor agreements
5. Costs, in lieu of rent, of keeping the property empty for the tenant

Should a proposed Tenant be uncertain regarding any of the above terms, they should seek legal advice before entering into agreement.

References - All tenancies are subject to the receipt of satisfactory references. In addition to the necessary references, we will also carry out Money Laundering Checks and a credit check. This is included in our referencing process.

We are also required to carry out Right to Rent checks on all Tenants. We will require sight of a UK passport or, alternatively, a valid UK drivers licence along with secondary supporting documentation (a full list of acceptable documents can be provided) per applicant.

This information will be required upon payment of the holding deposit and prior to the reference checks being carried out.
