Acceptance of any offer will be subject to contract, referencing and immigration checks. You will need to pay the Rent and Deposit that is due under a Tenancy Agreement, or where the landlord is offering the property with a deposit replacement guarantee product, and you wish to take up this option, you will need to provide proof that you have purchased such a product by providing us with a copy of the insurance certificate before a tenancy can start.

Referencing and Right to Rent Checks - You will be asked to complete an application form before referencing can be undertaken, you should also provide an original photographic Identification (e.g. Passport, National id card, visa, resident permit, driving licence) and Proof of Residence (e.g. Original utility bill, council tax bill or bank statement all of which much be less than 3 months old). The need for a guarantor may not become apparent until your referencing (including references for any joint tenants) has been completed. Where a guarantor is required an application form and photographic identification with proof of residence will be required.

Tenant deposit - In England under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 Deposits are limited to the equivalent of 5 weeks rent for new and renewed tenancies (or 6 weeks if the annual rent is £50,000 or more). This is calculated by dividing the annual rent by 52 and multiplying by 5 (or 6 if rent is £50,000 or more) and will be required to be paid at the start of the tenancy. This is subject to referencing.

Holding deposit - In England under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 Holding Deposits are limited to the equivalent of one weeks rent. This is paid in order to reserve a property.

The Holding Deposit will be required to be paid once your offer is accepted. You will be provided with the rules of when this is to be returned to you or retained by the agent before this payment is made.
