What next after I've found the perfect Property?

Once you have fallen in love with one of our properties, all that we ask for is that you complete some paperwork and pay the deposit to secure the property. In most cases we request a guarantor, however let us do the hard work and write to your guarantor. All we need is for you to provide us with their name and contact details.

Reserving a property
If you would like to take a property, let us know and we will contact the landlord and put forward your offer. If the landlord is happy to proceed, you will need to pay a reservation fee of one months rent in advance to reserve the property. This also covers the cost of reference and credit checks before you can move in, and inventory checks when you move out. Each person over the age of 18 who will live in the property will be named on the tenancy agreement and must undergo credit and reference checks.

Application
You will need to complete an application form when reserving a property, and we will submit the details for every applicant to a reference and credit checking agency.

Tenancy agreement
Once satisfactory references and credit checks are received we will prepare the tenancy agreement for the landlord and each of the tenants to sign. A normal tenancy agreement is for a fixed six month term. At the end of the six months, the tenancy continues until either the landlord or the tenant/s give the required notice. It is sometimes possible to negotiate a shorter term of tenancy, but this depends on the landlord's circumstances.

Deposit and advance rent
Before you move in, we will ask for a month's rent in advance and a deposit. We will pay the deposit back to you when you move out, after deducting any dilapidation costs (see Vacating the Property, below). Once these are received we can release the keys to you and you can move in!
