Once you have viewed a property and decide to proceed with the tenancy, we will negotiate the terms of the tenancy with the properties landlord. Once the terms of the tenancy have been agreed between yourself and the landlord, you will be required to pay a holding deposit in order to secure the property. When the holding deposit is received, we will remove the property from the market for you. We will then begin the referencing process.

Before commencing with the tenancy we will need to obtain satisfactory references from your employer and/or a previous or current landlord. There may also be instances when we require a personal reference or guarantor. We may also use the services of an independent referencing agency to obtain and evaluate these references. Personal & photographic identification is also required, such as a passport or driving license, as is proof of your current address (if applicable) in the form of a utility bill or bank statement in your name.

Students who are not in full time employment may not be able to meet the income requirements necessary to satisfy the referencing check. In these cases there are two options in place to help students to secure a tenancy.

Once the terms have been agreed by both parties, and satisfactory references received and approved, the tenancy documentation will be provided to you to review prior to being signed by you and your landlord.

We ask that you pay this to cover the administration costs of preparing the tenancy documentation and the costs of processing the credit report and reference checks. You will always be made aware of all fees involved prior to agreeing the terms of your tenancy and paying the holding deposit.

Before the start of the tenancy, an inventory is prepared detailing the contents and condition of the property. You will be provided with a copy to keep, and so will the landlord.

Prior to the commencement of the tenancy, we will require a security deposit and the first rental installment. The security deposit is usually equal to one month or six weeks rent. Your deposit will be protected under the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS), which is a protection scheme accredited by the Government.

As part of the Housing Act 2004 the Government has introduced tenancy deposit protection for all assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs) in England and Wales where a deposit is taken. From April 6th 2007, all deposits paid under an AST have had to be protected within 14 calendar days of receipt by the agent or landlord.

1. The tenant pays the landlord or letting agent their deposit.

2. The letting agent/landlord pays the money in to the DPS scheme within 14 days of receiving it.

3. Upon receipt of the deposit, the DPS provides confirmation and details of the protection scheme to the letting agent/landlord and the tenant.

4. When the tenancy comes to an end, the letting agent/landlord and tenant agree repayment of the deposit including any interest accrued, usually within 10 days.

5. In the case of any dispute, The DPS return any undisputed monies plus interest to the relevant party, but hold the disputed portion until the Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (ADR) or courts decide what is fair.

Please note that due to these regulations your deposit cannot be used in lieu of rental payments.

Once the tenancy agreement has been signed and the deposit and first rental installment have cleared, the tenancy can proceed. You can now collect the keys to your new home. The move in date will usually be agreed prior to the tenant paying the holding deposit, we will then work to ensure that all of the relevant checks are processed and relevant payments received so that your tenancy can start on the date you have agreed.
