What happens next?
Once you have viewed a property that you would like to take we will ask every person over the age of eighteen to complete an application form. These forms must be returned to our office with an ‘application fee’ of £100 plus vat (£100 per property NOT for each application form), which is part of your legal and processing fee (this is not a reservation fee). If you withdraw from the application, at any stage, we reserve the right to retain an administration fee of not less than £50 plus vat.

If your application is successful the £100 fee will be set against the initial account payable for the property. Applications normally take 7 – 10 days to complete. Once your application has been completed we will contact the Landlord of the property and advise you if your application has been successful. If the Landlord withdraws from the transaction the fee will be returned in full, unless the applicant’s references and/or credit checks are not acceptable to the Landlord’s requirements, when the £50 deduction plus vat will still apply.

If your application is successful you will need to pay the first months rent in advance, security deposit, which will vary from property to property so please confirm this amount with the negotiator that you view the property with, and the remaining legal and processing fees of £70 plus vat.

How safe is my deposit?
One of the biggest concerns for a tenant is 'how safe is my security deposit, will I get my money back?' The deposit will be protected by The Deposit Protection Service (DPS) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of The DPS. The Terms and Conditions and ADR rules governing the protection of the deposit including the repayment process can be found at www.depositprotection.com
