Tenant Application Procedure (Quick Guide)

When you have found one of our homes you would like to rent, give us a call & we will arrange to show you around the property. If it is suitable you will fill in our basic application form along with any other person over 18 who will be residing at the property & provide us with proof of identification & current address. A holding deposit will be requested (see below), upon receipt of this, your application will be forwarded to our 3rd party referencing agency who will request all the required information/documents to complete your application, this includes your affordability, residency & right to rent checks etc.

Upon a successful application your tenancy agreement which is a Legal Document will be drawn up, which you need to read carefully & if required seek independent advice before signing. A moving in date (no more than 28 days from the application date) will be agreed & you will be issued with all relevant information & certificates needed for your tenancy.

On the moving in day, we will meet you at the property where a months rent in advance & a security deposit (see below) less the holding deposit will be payable either by cash or paid by bank transfer so the funds are cleared in our bank account before the meeting we will then issue the keys.
