61 properties to let in Neath Port Talbot

At Dawsons we assist professionals and students alike to find a property to suit individual needs, from a first-time viewer to the most experienced occupant, we will help you every step of the way to ensure a stress-free process for all concerned assuring you that every stage will be handled professionally by our team here at Dawsons.

Viewings:
Upon selecting the properties you wish to view please contact us to book an appointment. All viewings will be accompanied by a member of staff who will then be able to assist you with any questions you may have.
To reserve a property, we require payment of a holding deposit equating to one weeks rent. This will become part payment of the first months rent should your application and subsequent referencing be successful.
Our Referencing Process:
When you have chosen a suitable property and we have agreed the proposed rental with the landlord you will be asked to complete an application form and make payment of the holding deposit.
This sum will become part payment of the first months rent should your application and subsequent referencing be successful. The holding deposit can be retained should any relevant person (including guarantors); withdraw from the occupation contract, provide false or misleading information, or fail to take reasonable steps to enter the agreement (i.e., Responding to reasonable requests for information required to process the application).
Before setting up an occupation contract, we will take up references (employment and previous landlord) and a credit check on all occupants over the age of 18. We use an independent professional referencing service, who are one of the leading residential lettings referencing services in the UK.
We also require you to provide two forms of id (Click Here for a list of acceptable id). This process usually takes between 3 to 5 working days (or between 5 and 10 days should there be a need to obtain references from larger companies) after which we can then agree a moving in date. We can only hold a property once a holding deposit is in place. The holding deposit will be held for a period of up to 15 days (unless an extension is agreed in writing by both parties).

Rental Agreements (occupation contracts):
We use the current and up to date occupation contracts for both the landlords and contract holders protection. The agreements are both comprehensive and easy to understand.

The property can either be managed by us through the course of occupation or directly by the landlord, depending on the landlord's preference. Upon signing, you will be informed of the relevant property manager (agent/landlord) staff/department/landlord contact details.

Bond/Deposit:
We will require a bond/deposit (which is usually equivalent to one months rent + £100.00 This figure can be higher dependent upon the contract terms and/or rent pcm).
This will be accepted by Dawsons, then transferred to either the landlord or our chosen deposit scheme for the duration of your occupation ensuring your deposit is registered/held with relevant deposit scheme. The option of a traditional bond/deposit alternative is also available, which when available and eligible will reduce the initial financial outgoing for an occupation contract holder. For more information on this service and bond/deposit alternative, please ask to speak with a member of our team.

Rent Payments:
All rent payments must be paid monthly in advance on the rental due date (this is usually the same date monthly as your occupation contract start date) and via a standing order, which can be set up upon signing the contract or in office when collecting the keys.
Inventory and Routine Inspections: Please visit our website for further information.
Additional Charges/Default Fees: For further information relating to any additional charges/default fees please view our fees section on our website here

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact our team.

It is the agent's responsibility to ensure that all relevant information is provided and is up to date and accurate. If the relevant information does not appear here, the agent may have included it within the property description.

The landlord is not responsible for any connection charges for services such as gas, electricity, water, telephone or broadband if the services are not currently connected.

Possible Charges

The contract-holder must perform and observe all valid obligations of any head-lease or covenant on the dwelling, a copy of which has been provided to the contract-holder, save for those relating to the payment of rent or service charges and to refund to the principal contact all actual costs, reasonably incurred, resulting from all claims, damages, costs, charges and expenses whatsoever in relation to any breach of these obligations.

The contract-holder has the use of all appliances provided in the dwelling, and listed in the inventory (if there is one) save those which are noted as not working. However, should any items require repair, or be beyond repair, the landlord does not undertake to arrange a repair, to pay for any costs of repair or to replace the appliance, except those which the landlord is required by law to maintain.

The contract-holder must not cause obstruction in any common areas of any building of which the dwelling forms a part. The principal contact reserves the right to remove or have removed any such obstruction and, at their discretion, to charge the actual costs, reasonably incurred, payable on demand, to the contract-holder for so doing.

Undertake promptly any repairs for which the contract-holder is liable following any notice being served by the principal contact and if the contract-holder does not carry out the repairs the principal contact may, after correct written notice, enter the dwelling, with or without others, to effect those repairs and the contract-holder will pay on demand the actual costs, reasonably incurred, involved.

Not make, or permit, any changes to the electrical installation, for example by changing light fittings, switches or adding sockets. Any changes made in breach of this clause may compromise electrical safety and may require an electrical check and / or remedial works, the actual cost, reasonably incurred, the contract-holder may be liable for.

Take all reasonable and practical steps to keep the dwelling free from infestation by vermin. Should an infestation occur during the contract, the contract-holder must arrange and pay for pest control unless such infestation occurs as a failure of the landlord to comply with their repairing obligations.

Return possession of the dwelling in the same good clean state and condition as it was provided under the original agreement, even if this was under a different agreement from the contract under which the dwelling is being returned, and make good, pay for the repair of, or replace all such items of the fixtures, fittings, furniture and effects as shall be broken, lost, damaged or destroyed (reasonable wear and tear and damage for which the landlord has agreed to insure excepted).

In consideration for the landlord granting the contract-holder an occupation contract of the dwelling, the guarantor agrees to pay the principal contact for any reasonable losses suffered as a result of the contract-holder failing to fulfil any of their obligations under this contract or failing to pay rent or other monies lawfully due.

The guarantor agrees to pay, on demand and in full, any overdue rent or other monies lawfully due under this contract, until vacant possession is given to the principal contact.

The guarantor agrees to make payments lawfully due under this guarantee even after the contract-holder has returned possession of the dwelling to the landlord or the occupation contract has ended.
