Tenancy:The property is offered on an Assured Shorthold letting agreement for a period of 6 months thereafter to continue on a month to month basis, unless a 12-month contract has been agreed.

Rent: One Month’s rent payable in advance. Tenant to pay for electricity, gas (if appropriate), council tax, water and sewage rates, telephone (if appropriate).

Deposit:In addition to paying the rent, the tenants are required to pay a sum of deposit which will be held with Deposit Protection Scheme (dps) which will be held by them throughout the duration of the tenancy. On vacation, the deposit will be returned less any deduction from shortages of rent, damage or any items missing from the inventory. The Deposit is fixed at five weeks rent.
Alternately we do offer the Reposit insurance policy, if this is permitted it will be stated on the property details.

Referencing: A holding deposit of 1 weeks rent will be held for up to 15 days, this can then be used towards your rent or deposit on your approval, if the agent or landlord pulls out this will be refunded back.

Listed below are grounds on which the holding deposit can be held:
1. If you the tenant pulls out of the tenancy before the contracts are signed.
2. If you the tenant fails a Right to Rent check.
3. If you the tenant provides false or misleading information - this does not mean failing referencing. If you the tenant provides completely accurate information, but still fails referencing, that will be classed as the landlord or agent pulling out. However, if you have actively provided false information and we can prove you have, we can withhold the holding deposit.
4. If you the tenant doesn't enter the agreement by the deadline.
5. If you the tenant are dragging your feet and not responding to emails, not giving the referencing agency what they need for longer than 15 days, you will also forfeit your holding deposit.

One photographic id such as a passport or driving license and birth certificate
One for proof of your address such as a utility bill, dated within the last 3 months.

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.

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 tenancy 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 - 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. This is calculated by multiplying the monthly rent by 12 to establish the annual rent, then dividing the annual rent by 52. 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.
