We will be pleased to give you advice and guidance on all areas, relating to
the ins-&-outs of renting a property from us.
Most of the properties we manage are occupied, so we need to give tenants at least 24 hours notice when arranging viewings.
Once you find a property you like you need to follow the procedure below:
- You complete an application form.
- You pay a reservation fee of £199 per applicant over 18. (£149 per person if a couple, £99 for a guarantor)
- As soon as we receive your completed application the property is reserved for you.
- The application form is passed to an independent agency, to complete the references.
Property Hand Over
Once these checks have been completed, we will agree a moving-in date with you. At this stage you will be given a tenancy agreement to read and sign, along with an statement of the following fees:The first month’s rent.
Security deposit. This is usually the equivalent of one month’s rent (although
in some cases may be more) and is held by us throughout the tenancy against
any damages or dilapidations.
Before you move into the property the signed tenancy agreement together with your payment (in cleared funds i.e. banker’s draft, building society cheque or cash) must be received by us. You will also be given a standing order for completion and return to enable your bank to pay future monthly rent installments.

Your obligations whilst at the property
We encourage our landlords to keep their properties maintained in a good standard, and would expect our tenants to keep their home clean, tidy and in good order throughout.It is important that you the tenant whilst occupying the property tell us as soon as possible if any maintenance is needed.

Landlords Letting your Property
Letting a property can provide one of the most stable forms of investment. If you already have a property, letting is flexible and reliable. While a property is being let its value appreciates in line with property prices, and at the same time provides you with a regular monthly income.We promote your property in a way to locate the right tenant. Care is taken to ensure the suitability of prospective tenants by completing a detailed credit and referencing checks via an independent specialist agency.
Tenants are required to pay a deposit (usually equivalent to one month’s rent) which is held by us in a client account throughout the occupancy, this is to cover any damages or dilapidations against the property. A comprehensive tenancy agreement is signed and a detailed inventory and schedule of condition is checked and signed off by both us and the tenant. We can arrange insurance Protection if required.
Managing your Property
Once the new tenant has moved in we write to the utility suppliers and the local council – giving meter readings and informing each of the change of occupancy for billing purposes.Rent is payable per calendar monthly and, following deduction of our fees and any other appropriate costs (e.g. maintenance), the net rent is then forwarded to the landlord’s bank account via electronic transfer and a statement sent to the landlord setting out all income and outgoings.
