Applicant guide

1. View the property or arrange for a representative you trust to view it for you.

2. Make an offer. On acceptance of your offer pay the Holding Fee of 1 weeks rent and complete and return our Tenant Terms of Business. This then secures the property (only once the holding fee has been paid). These funds will be deducted from your move in monies (rent) once your application is approved.

3. You will be passed to our friendly, Zest New Lets team, who will commence your referencing, application and contracts process. Please note, you risk forfeiting your holding deposit if you do not supply the required referencing information within 15 days from the initial request.

4. The Company Agency Fee (if applicable) is 468 and the deposit is usually equal to five weeks rent. Deposits are protected with the Deposit Protection Service (dps) and must be paid by the applicant and not a third party.

5. Ensure you provide photographic id such as your passport, id card or similar. If you are from overseas, we will require evidence of your right to rent in the UK.

6. Have references for employment, previous tenancies and, if self-employed, your latest set of company accounts to hand.

7. Have a guarantor (in the absence of references) who is a UK home owner and able to cover your obligations. Alternatively, you can pay all of the rent in advance.

8. Pay your first month's rent before the start date of your tenancy. Rent is paid monthly at the advertised pcm figure. Bank transfers are accepted, but payment is not cleared until the funds are received into our client account.

Please note that lettings agents are required by law to publish on their websites information for potential tenants about relevant fees, redress schemes and client money protection schemes (including the names of those schemes). For properties to rent in England, details of the agent's membership of any redress scheme and client money protection scheme must also be published with their fees. 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.
