REFERENCES

If the credit search returns an acceptable score level the property will be held for a maximum of 7 days whilst

written references are obtained from the persons nominated on your application form.  Please ensure they are

aware they will be approached for a reference otherwise this may cause delays.

Guarantor – if you have been asked to provide a Guarantor please request a ‘Guarantor Questionnaire’ form

from our office (the guarantor will also be referenced and credit checked and we shall require a fee of £15.00)

Please note that it is our intention as Agents for the Landlords to use information supplied by other Landlords or Agents so that the Landlord may have an informed decision as to whether to let a property to an applicant.    This will include details of non payment of rent, damage to fixtures and fittings, loss of fixtures and fittings, disturbance to neighbours i.e. anti social behaviour, criminal activity conducted from the premises, intimidating behaviour towards Landlords/Agents and quitting the premises without giving notice.

Subject to satisfactory references and searches we will then formalise the letting and arrange for the signing of the Tenancy Agreement.

We shall require:-

*          Immediate payment of part/full deposit (refundable at the end of the Tenancy subject to an ‘Agent Check Out’ inspection carried out once the property is vacant and left in a clean, tidy and undamaged condition)

*          Payment of advance rent on or before the tenancy start date.

*          Payment of £75 contract fee.

N.B.    Cheque payments will be subject to clearance before commencement of the tenancy.

Additional Comments

Please remember that you should ensure you have adequate insurance to protect your own personal possessions and any accidental damage to the Landlords property.
