Essential Information

Administration/Application Process

We would always recommend researching the area and property prior to commencing with the contract. We will obtain references from your employer and a previous/current Landlord if applicable (a guarantor may also be required*). In addition, some Landlord(s) request copies of bank statements. You will need to provide personal and photographic identification (such as a passport, driving licence and utility bills). Once the necessary checks have been completed, you will be advised if your application is acceptable or unacceptable.

A guarantor would be a person who is prepared to become legally bound to a standard occupation contract. Their main responsibility would be to step in financially and pay any rent due in the event a contract holder(s) has defaulted on paying the rent. Please note, they must be UK based and would be referenced separately to the contract holder(s).

Payments

This is made up as follows:

On signing the standard occupation contract one month’s rent and the agreed deposit (bond) will be required in cleared funds.
Rent is due on the anniversary date of the commencement of the contract.

Inventory/Schedule of Condition

We will undertake and produce a detailed inventory of the property together with a "Schedule of Condition" prior to the contract holder(s) moving into the property. Sufficient time and opportunity will be allowed for the contract holder(s) to check the documents for any discrepancies. When a tenant(s) vacates the property a detailed inventory and check out report will be completed and a report issued to the contract holder(s).

Deposit

Your deposit will be held by The DPS (Deposit Protection Service) under the Custodial Scheme

Insurance/Council Tax/Utilities

We will notify the relevant Council, water and utility companies of the move; however, the tenant(s) will be responsible for notifying any telephone providers, arranging contents insurance and any other additional services they require.

Property Inspections

With our management service we are required to carry out regular visits to the property. The main purpose of such visits is to check the property is being kept to a standard the Landlord(s) would require and to give the contract holder(s) the opportunity to make us aware of any potential problems.

Emergency Maintenance

Should you have any maintenance issues, please contact our office by email [email protected] or 02920 614411 (Option 1).

End of Contract

At the end of the contract an Inventory and Final Report will be carried out (the contract holder(s) has the right to be present for this, if they would like to do so). If there are any defects or damage to the property, these will be brought to the contract holder(s) attention and quotes will be obtained to rectify the issue and money will be requested from the deposit to cover this. If no issues are noted the full deposit will be returned to the contract holder(s).
