From 1st June 2019 the Tenant Fee Ban was put in place by the government therefore there will be no Administration Fees to pay.
If you wish to apply for a property there will be a Holding Deposit to pay which would be equal to One Weeks Rent.
Once your application has been confirmed successful you would then pay the Security Deposit which is now a maximum of 5 weeks rent and a one months rent in advance. (The cost of the Holding Deposit is deducted from this total amount due).
None, we obtain these on your behalf. Current Employment and Landlord if applicable, along with a Credit Check.
On occasions, we may ask for a guarantor as your earnings may not be considered enough to pay the rent, or you may not achieve the appropriate rating set by our Credit Reference Agency. We will explain all of the details to you, but rest assured this is not an uncommon request.
We will register your deposit into an independent Government Approved scheme designed to protect your deposit until you vacate.
