Finding a property

The first step is to search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not, place an advert so that you can be contacted as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly.

Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding deposit', usually equivalent to one week's rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.

References
As a minimum satisfactory references from your employer (or college), and a previous or current landlord are required. You may also be required to give a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. The services of an independent referencing company may be used to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance.

Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must be paid, and will be held by the landlord/Agent. This is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement.

Fees
Please enquire if there are any additional fees.
