Information
for Tenants
All
of our properties are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies under
the Housing Act 1996.
Prospective tenants should note the following:
- Tenants
must be over 18 years of age and be in full time employment
although we do have certain properties where housing benefit
funded tenants would be considered.
- Unless
stated, payment terms are monthly in advance. The security
deposit is taken at the outset of the tenancy along with the
first month's rental.
- The
tenants are responsible for the payment of all outgoings to
include Council Tax, Water Rates, Electricity, Gas, Telephone
Charges and TV Licence.
- The
initial payment of rental and security deposit must be in
a guaranteed form i.e. Banker's Draft, Cash or Building Society
Cheque.
Please look at the properties we have available and if they are
of interest please contact us to arrange a viewing. If you have
viewed the property and wish to make an application for it then
please complete an application form which can be obtained from
our office.
An application fee of £50 (including VAT) per applicant is required
before references can be processed. An applicant is any person
over the age of 18 who will be residing at the property.
It should be noted that an application fee is not returned if
a tenant withdraws from a proposed letting or if their references
prove unacceptable. We would recommend that if you are aware that
you have a poor credit rating (i.e. County Court Judgements etc)
that you advise us of this fact before proceeding.
If you are offered a tenancy of a property then there is a charge
of £50 (including VAT) to cover the cost of the provision of a
Landlord and Tenant Agreement. Payment for the agreement will
be required at the time of an offer of the property and in advance
of the preparation of the tenancy documents.
For further information please either contact us by telephone
on 01455 251771 or alternatively via our e-mail link.
