TENANTS FEES
PRE-TENANCY
Once a property has been viewed, should any tenant/s decide to proceed with an application a pre-screening form will be sent to all applicants. Should the Landlord decide to proceed to the referencing stage with that tenant/s then a Holding Deposit will be taken that is equivalent to one weeks rent. Please note that should the application be declined due to any false information in the prescreening form, or should the tenant not proceed within 21 days, the Holding Deposit will become non-refundable.
A Tenancy Deposit will be required of up to the equivalent of five weeks rent for annual rents of less than £50,000. This increases to up to six weeks rent where the rent is £50,000 per annum or higher. The figures for this will be advertised on each individual property advert. The holding deposit will be discounted from the remaining payable deposit figure.
At least one months rent will also be payable in advance.
DURING THE TENANCY
Lost keys that need replacing will be charged at the rate of the cost of the key cutting. Should a locksmith be required, the tenant will be responsible for the cost of the locksmith.
Late rate payments can be charged where the rent is at least 14 days late from the due date set out in the Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement. The Landlord or Letting Agent cannot charge more than 3% above the Bank of England Base Rate for each day that the rent has been unpaid.

For the director to come and see us on a Sunday to give us a valuation really surprised us. As a busy couple, to get us in the same place at the same time isn’t easy.
