A deposit equal to five weeks' rent will be taken and registered with the relevant Tenancy Deposit Scheme for protection.
Once satisfactory references have been received, monies paid, and relevant paperwork signed, you will be checked into the property by an inventory clerk, meter readings will be taken, and the relevant utilities will be transferred into your name(s).
A fee of £50.00 is payable should the tenant wish to amend the tenancy (for example, adding a partner or sharer).
A fee will also be payable should the tenant terminate the tenancy earlier than agreed. This fee will cover any losses the landlord may incur.
Default fees apply for lost keys or other security devices, and for late rent payments after 14 days. Interest is capped at 3% above the Bank of England Base Rate.
By entering into an agreement, the Government expects agents to progress from taking the Holding Deposit to signing the tenancy agreement within 15 calendar days. This means both parties must sign and date the tenancy agreement.
The tenancy start date and move-in date are separate from this requirement. The 15-day deadline can be extended if both parties agree.
