Application Procedure

Property Viewings

Our adverts include photos, descriptions and, where available, video tours and floor plans. After reviewing the advert, please call us to request a viewing. We’ll ask qualifying questions and arrange an appointment, which may be conducted alongside others due to demand.

Following the viewing, the agent will provide application details.

Application Process

All applicants aged 18 or over must complete an online registration form for review. Once all forms are received and reviewed, a holding fee will be requested. Once received, applicants will be required to complete an online application form via our 3rd party referencing partner.

All required documents must be submitted at the application stage for review; incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Guarantors

A guarantor may be required, subject to referencing or our client’s requirements. 

Guarantors are jointly liable for obligations arising under the tenancy agreement, including rent arrears, damage, tenant conduct, and reasonable post-tenancy costs and debt recovery, subject to the terms of the guarantor deed.

Guarantors must complete an application form and have sufficient income to cover potential liabilities. As a guide, this should be equivalent to three times the annual rent. Liability may continue beyond any fixed term where the tenancy continues, subject to the terms of the guarantor deed.

Holding Fee

Once your application is complete and reviewed, a holding fee (maximum one week’s rent) will be requested. The property will not be held or processed until this is paid.

In accordance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019, the holding fee will be held for up to 15 days from the date of payment, unless a different deadline for entering into the tenancy is agreed in writing.

The holding fee is non-refundable if you withdraw, provide false or incomplete information, fail Right to Rent checks, or fail to take reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy.

Move-In

Tenancy agreements, guarantor deeds, and related documents must be signed online before move-in. Rent and deposit must be paid by bank transfer on your move-in day and not before, as stated in the acceptance letter.

Deposit

The deposit is equal to five weeks’ rent and is payable on or before move-in day.

Pets

Pets must be declared on your application form. If permitted at the property, they will be recorded in the tenancy. Additional tenancy terms may apply if pets are accepted. Please confirm pet acceptance before applying.

Your Details (GDPR)

For enquiries and viewings, your personal data will be retained for no longer than six months. Your details will not be shared with third parties unless necessary such as referencing.

Right to Rent (UK Home Office)

All tenants must pass Right to Rent checks, regardless of nationality. Supporting documents will be requested upon application. A government code of practice is available online for further guidance.
