Application Procedure (please read carefully).

If you wish to apply to rent a property please observe the following procedure.

A tenancy will be offered to you subject to contract and more specifically, subject to the following conditions:

• A fully completed application form has been submitted

• Payment of one week’s rent Holding Deposit to reserve the property

• The Landlord has accepted the offer

• A satisfactory credit search has been carried out by (details on request)

• Satisfactory references have been obtained.

If your application is accepted (subject to references) you will be required to pay one week’s rent as a Holding Deposit, upon

receipt of which the property will be reserved for you. If you are successful then upon commencement of the tenancy the

Holding Deposit will be offset against your first rent payment at the point of moving in. 


By signing this form you confirm your agreement to this.

The Holding Deposit will not be returned should you provide false or misleading information, fail a Right to Rent check,

unilaterally withdraw your application or fail to take all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement within the agreed

timescale. If the landlord decides before the deadline for agreement not to enter into a tenancy agreement for any reason

other than those highlighted above, the Holding Fee will be refunded.


Before moving into a property payment of the first months rent and deposit must be made by bank transfer or debit card.

Funds must be cleared before keys can be released. All future payments will be via standing order, unless the landlord

specifies otherwise.

You may be asked to provide a Guarantor in some cases. If in any doubt as to what is included within the let (i.e. furniture,

appliances etc.) you should seek further clarification prior to submitting your application.

Other Permitted Payments, Default Fees and Damages Payments which may apply to your tenancy as defined by the Tenant

Fees Act 2019:


Replacement or additional keys or entry/ security devices

The Agent/ Landlord is entitled to be fully reimbursed for all reasonable costs incurred in replacing existing or providing

additional keys and security/ entry devices immediately upon production of a receipt/ invoice. The Agent’s time in doing so will

be charged at £15.00 per hour including vat.


Changes to a Tenancy

Should the tenant make a reasonable request to alter the tenancy agreement after the commencement date, the Agent is

entitled to make a charge of £50.00 including vat. Such examples include a request for pets to be kept in the property, a

change of sharer in a joint tenancy, permission to add a new occupier, working from home/ running a business from the

property or any other amendment which alters the obligations of the agreement. In cases where a change of sharer is

particularly complex, the Agent reserves the right to charge in excess of £50.00 but this will be agreed with the tenant(s) in

advance. All such requests remain subject to the Landlord’s approval.


Early Termination Fees

Should the tenant request early termination of their tenancy, and the Landlord agrees to said request, the Landlord/ Agent will

be entitled to recover the Landlord’s Letting Fee as detailed in the Terms of Business between the Landlord and Agent from

the Tenant. This is currently £390 (£325+vat). The tenant will also be responsible for the rent up until the day a new tenant

takes over responsibility or until the date the tenancy or tenant’s notice period runs out, whichever is soonest. This procedure

is always subject to landlord’s consent, contract and references
