It means that you can stay in the property for the duration of the lease agreed, providing all obligations are met. If the landlord wishes to end the tenancy you will be given sufficient written notice depending on the nature and timing of your tenancy.

We will inspect the property to ensure it is not in need of repair and that it is being taken car of correctly. This also gives you the opportunity to raise any concerns or requests you may have. These will be done at a reasonable time and frequency not to cause problems for you as a tenant. You will be given ample time to be aware of any inspections.

Yes! We strongly advise you consider taking out tenant insurance, which covers you for any accidental damage to the landlords contents, buildings, and fixtures and fittings. Give us a call and we will put you in touch with our insurance partners who can answer any questions you may have.

Your deposit will be 5 weeks rent (including your holding deposit) and will be held in the Tenancy Deposit Scheme for the duration of your tenancy. It will be returned to you at the end of the tenancy providing the property is in good condition beyond fair wear and tear.

You are responsible for ensuring the rent is paid on time and in full. We have facilities to enable you to establish a standing order in which the payments will come directly from your bank account straight into ours. If you have any questions about this process please do ask.

Unless stated in your tenancy agreement you will be responsible for the council tax and all other utility bills for the property (Gas, electric, water etc). You can choose your supplier and ensure the accounts are closed when you leave.

To reserve a property, you will have to pay a holding deposit. This takes the property off the market while all other processes are completed. Providing this goes smoothly the holding deposit cost goes towards your total deposit which will need to be paid before you move into the property. If through the referencing process any false information is given, and either you or your guarantor withdraw your application you are at risk of losing your holding deposit. If circumstances change due to the landlord’s decision, it will be returned to you in full
