Strakers fees and procedures:

Applicants pay a Holding Deposit, of 1 week’s rent of the property, reserving the property for 14 days whilst reference checks are completed. This forms a “deadline for agreement” whereupon a tenancy start date should be mutually agreed between applicant and landlord, subject to referencing. The holding deposit is refundable unless you provide misleading or inaccurate information, fail a right to rent check, withdraw from the rental of the property, or fail to take reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy agreement, in accordance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019.
