Tenant fees

We would like to provide clarity of any fees that may become payable during a contract you are looking to enter into. We believe you should understand these before you make any decision about a property or before you decide to view a property.

A holding deposit will be required which will be equal to 1 weeks rent of the chosen property. Once referencing has been completed satisfactorily, we will contact you to confirm that you’re happy for us to keep the holding deposit, which will be offset against first months rent. Acceptance of any offer will be subject to contract, referencing and Immigration checks. You will need to pay the Rent and Security Deposit that is due under an Occupation Contract.

Referencing and Right to Rent Checks - You will be asked to complete an application 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) if you have any queries relating to this please speak to the branch you are dealing with.

You should be aware that 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 they will need to complete an application form and provide photographic identification and proof of residence.

Referencing will cover a check against the credit file and public records of the individual, an Anti-Money Laundering check, confirmation of employment and salary details, confirmation of previous contract details, right to rent checks, reporting the results of all those checks to your prospective landlord to see if your application is acceptable.

Tenant deposit

A deposit equivalent to a month’s will be required to be paid at the start of the contract. This is subject to referencing.

The Renting Homes (Fees etc.) (Wales) Act 2019 permits certain fees/ charges to be made where a tenant has defaulted on or breached their obligations under their Occupation Contract:

Fee type	Explanation
Loss of key or other security device	Landlords and letting agents can charge a tenant a fee to cover the cost of replacing the lost key or security device (e.g. Fob, electronic device for garage doors/ security gates)

Please ask us to explain the application and move in process to you and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have now or during the application process.
