A £200.00 non-refundable holding fee must be placed in order to secure the property.
This can be paid by bankers draft, building society cheque, personal cheque, cash or
debit or credit card (2.5% charge). This payment will be credited against your initial
invoice prior to moving in. You will then be given application forms for each
individual that will be living in the property (those 18 and over). These forms must
be returned to the office within 48 hours. If the forms are not returned within
this time we reserve the right to put the property back on the market.

Your application forms will then be processed. You can expect a decision to be made
within 5 working days, subject to fully completed application forms and all
references being received.

Once all of the relevant references have been received and the Landlord has accepted your
application, we will in writing confirm all tenancy details. You will be required to come

The above balance must be paid in full prior to or on the day of your move in. It can
be paid by bankers draft, building society cheque, personal cheque (allow 10
working days for this to clear) bank transfer please check with
your bank to ensure we will receive the funds by your move in date) or debit or
credit card (2.5% charge). We do not accept cash in this instance.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your possessions are adequately insured against loss
or damage. Unless you provide us with a valid certificate of insurance or confirmation of a
policy purchased prior to your move in date then this cost will be added to your invoice.

If you become a tenant of one of our properties your security deposit will be protected by
The Dispute Service, unless you are told otherwise. You will receive details of this when
you sign your tenancy agreement.
Our Assured Shorthold Tenancies will usually be for a minimum of six months, unless it has been
negotiated otherwise.
