LETTINGS CHARGES

To reserve a property you have viewed, an administration fee of £300.00 plus VAT (£360.00) for up to two applicants must be paid to cover the costs of your references and preparing agreements. Each additional applicant or guarantor will be charged at £75.00 plus VAT (£90.00)

Once the administration fee is received and application forms have been fully completed we will apply for your references using an outside referencing company.

The property is taken as seen, if you have requested items to be carried out on condition of taking the property please note this in the any other information section.

If you decide, for whatever reason, not to proceed with the tenancy or we refuse you a tenancy due to adverse referencing the administration fee will not be returnable.

Prior to moving into the property you will need to pay the deposit, which is held by the Deposit Protection Service for the duration of the tenancy. At the termination of the tenancy, it will be used to offset any damage and cleaning (if applicable) beyond fair wear and tear, which must be rectified. The deposit amount is equivalent to one and half months rent.

Tenancy Agreements will be drawn up for a fixed period of time with the initial term usually being 6 or 12 months. Assuming that the tenancy has been conducted satisfactorily, that yourself and the Landlord are prepared to renew then you may be offered a Renewal Tenancy Agreement, the cost to the tenant/s is £75.00 plus VAT (£90.00) and will apply for the preparation of such an agreement.

When vacating a property a Check Out fee of £100.00 plus VAT (£120.00) will be charged. This becomes payable once notice has been served.
