Tenants

The first step is to register your details with us, we’ll then be able to keep you advised by e–mail or text of properties that become available and matching your criteria. When looking at the rent don’t forget that you will usually be paying the bills on top. As a general guide we recommend that the annual rent is a minimum of 40% of your gross single or combined income if more than one tenant is taking the property.


Rent Calculator


Use the calculator below to workout how much your monthly payments could be or how much you need to earn to afford a property:



Viewings


You decide which properties you want to view and we’ll either make appointments for you or pass your details to the landlords for them to arrange them with you –This depends on the package that the landlord has purchased from us.


Offers


Make an offer for the property and negotiate terms –This will normally be carried out through us. When terms have been agreed you’ll need to pay us an administration fee of £55+ vat per tenant to cover referencing costs.


Referencing


Referencing is carried out through Homelet, we’ll need some basic details from you and will then e–mail a link to you for you to complete the referencing form. If you’re unsure about any part of the form just give us a call before you submit it.



Move in


You’ve passed the referencing, agreed terms and a date to move in. On the move in day you’ll meet with the landlord or his representative, sign the tenancy agreement, pay the deposit and first months rent in cleared funds, usually cash or bankers draft. You’ll then need to check the inventory, take meter readings and the keys are yours! This is a very simplified version but don’t worry we’ll send you a detailed checklist before you actually move in.


Obligations


The tenancy agreement that you sign is a legally binding contract and specifies the landlords and your obligations. Please always refer to it or check with your landlord if you want to make any changes for example installing a satellite dish or bringing a pet into the property.


Rent


You’ll have an obligation to pay the rent on a certain day which will be stipulated in the tenancy, to avoid missing a rent day we recommend that you set up a standing order to pay this –remember that unlike a direct debit you are in control of this and must cancel it at the end of the tenancy when you vacate.
