Our Properties

We are very selective about Landlords we work with as we understand renting a place needs to feel like a home that is well maintained and fully compliant. We’ve been tenants ourselves and we know what a good letting agent looks like. We aim to deliver an outstanding service, which means fast response times to any issues raised, with a friendly and approachable team of experts who will look after you on your journey with us.

Do you charge a Letting Agent fee?

No, as of 1st June 2019 it is illegal for letting agents to charge tenant fees.

How do I secure a property to rent?

By placing a ‘holding deposit’ of the equivalent of one week’s rent, that secures the property, we take if off the market and start the application and referencing process. If you fail your Right to Rent or mislead us or a landlord or the agreement doesn’t proceed due to reasons caused by you, the holding deposit will be retained. Should everything proceed as expected, your deposit will be deducted from your first rental payment.

What does referencing involve?

Your landlord needs a snapshot of your renting and credit history to make sure you are suitable to rent the property and can afford your monthly rent payments. If you need a guarantor, we will need to reference them too. A guarantor is there to cover your rent should you default.

Do I need a Guarantor?

If you are a first-time tenant, student or have a poor credit history, or are below a certain income then yes you will need a guarantor. This is someone who agrees to co-sign your lease agreement and will pay your rent should you not be able to. Typically, they tend to be family members or close friends.

Do I need ID?

Yes, to secure a property and comply with the Right to Rent’ checks you will need to provide us with your passport, this includes every tenant signing the agreement.

I’ve just arrived in the UK, what do I need to know?

You can provide overseas references from landlords and agents, and these will be checked as part of the referencing process. Some landlords will accept a lump sum, typically 3 to 6 months, in lieu of references.

What is a deposit?

A deposit is held in trust, in a government backed scheme, to protect against damage to the property, over and above fair wear and tear. The deposit is released back to you at the end of your tenancy agreement if rent and bills are paid and there is no damage to the property above fair wear and tear.

Do I need to sign a contract?

Yes, each tenant will need to sign a tenancy agreement which sets out the terms between you and your landlord.

What’s an inventory?

An inventory will be provided to you at the start of your tenancy. It’s a record of the condition of the property, garden, and furniture, if included. You will need to sign this document shortly after moving in and agreeing with the conditions.

What payments do I need to make?

Before you move in, you will need to ensure your deposit and first month’s rent is paid and cleared before you collect your keys, which is typically the first day of your tenancy agreement. Your deposit will be registered with a deposit protections scheme within 30 days of the tenancy start date.
