Agents notes

Pughs has joined the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, TDS. It guarantees protection of the deposit; and a fair, independent and expert assessment and settlement of any disputes over its return at the end of a tenancy. This is sometimes needed when landlords and tenants are totally unable to agree the amount due for damage, dilapidation or loss at the end of a tenancy.

The Scheme will allow us to continue to hold your deposit. If there is a dispute over how it should be allocated which we cannot settle, we will be able to refer it to the Independent Complaints Examiner. He will adjudicate within 10 working days of receiving all the necessary papers. There will be no additional charge for the adjudication for future tenancies that are covered by the Scheme.

Tenancy agreement

All lettings subject to satisfactory references, signing of tenancy agreement and payment of following monies.

The tenancy agreement will be set up on an initial six-month period or shorter by agreement.

Full references required prior to an application being approved, along with a deposit of one months rent (refundable upon departure with a satisfactory inspection of the property by the landlords at the end of the tenancy agreement).

Referencing is charged to the Tenant at a cost of £40.20 incl. VAT per applicant. In the event that references are not satisfactory this fee is non refundable.

Upon satisfactory receipt of references there is a contribution payable by the tenant(s) of £150 plus VAT towards preparation of Tenancy agreements
