Step by Step Guide for Tenants
Step 1 Registering with us
To find your ideal property, we need to know as much as possible about you and your requirements.
This includes proof of ID and address, your rental budget, the date by which you need to move, the type and size of property you need, etc. You can let us know all about your requirements by filling in our Tenancy Application Form, by phone or one to one, where we can assist you. With a clear understanding of your requirements we will then be able to access all properties that match your criteria from our database. When you have registered, property details can be sent to you by Email or Post.
Step 2 Viewings
Viewings can be conducted at any reasonable time, we understand that office hours don’t suit everyone and being an independent agent we can be very flexible and accommodating.
Step 3 Making an offer
If the property is suitable for you, don’t delay your offer as it could get secured for let by someone else on the same day, but also be sure it’s the one for you.
When you make an offer you’ll need to pay us a refundable holding deposit (to reserve a property) capped at no more than one week's rent will be requiredbefore we can start the referencing procedure. The deposit will be ducted from your first month’s rent, unless you change your mind about taking the property, in which case you will lose your deposit.
Step 4 The Paperwork
Once we have received satisfactory references we will draft all of the necessary paperwork including the Tenancy Agreement and a comprehensive Inventory and Schedule of Condition including Photos,
Step 5 Moving in
Before moving in we will organise the moving in date and time and the handover of keys. Collection and set up of standing order for the rent. Collection of the damage deposit and placing the deposit into an official holding scheme. We will also take care of informing all the utility providers as well as provide an Inventory and Schedule of Condition for you to agree and sign, if required by the landlord.
