THE NEXT STEP
 When
you have found a home that suits you and you are in a position to
proceed, fill in our application form and pay a holding deposit
(this is usually deducted from your ingoing account subject to the
conditions on the application form).
References
We will ask for references from your bank, employer (if you are self
employed, from your accountant) and from a previous Landlord (if
applicable) or other appropriate referees to confirm your standing.
Fax numbers or email addresses for your referees will certainly
speed things along. We carry out a credit search on most applicants
and to avoid complications later on, you must tell us before viewing
a property if you have any unsatisfied County Court Judgements or
Default Payments on a financial transaction recorded in your name or
if you are bankrupt… failure to tell us this may mean that you
forfeit your holding deposit.
Guarantors
If you cannot put forward appropriate references or maybe you are
not in full time employment, perhaps because you are a student, or
have not had a bank account for more than six months, you may need
to provide a property owning guarantor. You must discuss the
letting very carefully with your guarantor as we will need them to
provide appropriate financial references and to sign a legal
document guaranteeing the payment of rent and performance of all the
terms and conditions of your tenancy.
The Tenancy Agreement
Your Agreement will be for a fixed term, minimum period six months,
unless specifically agreed otherwise. If your circumstances change
and you wish to leave before the end of the agreed term, you will
continue to be responsible for the rent until the end of your
tenancy or until the property is re-let; in this situation it is
likely that you will have to pay a share of the costs of trying to
re-let the property and any new tenancy/inventory costs.
How Long Does it Take?
If needed, we can move very quickly with only a few days between you
placing a holding deposit and moving into your new home, subject to
the date the property is available and to how quickly your referees
can respond to us. A period of 7-14 days is usual between holding
and moving in and properties can only be held for longer than 14
days by special arrangement.
