LETTING PROCEDURE
If the property is suitable a prospective tenant will be asked to complete a simple Referencing form and Right to Rent check. We require photo ID for all adults living at the property (e.g. Passport or Driving licence with paper counterpart). The application form(s) will be passed to an insurance investigating company who will provide credit checks and a report (usually within a few days). The property will be held pending the outcome of an application. If the results of these checks are satisfactory then the tenancy can proceed. This property is available for an initial 6/12 month term thereafter a tenancy renewal term can be discussed. The landlord will require a returnable deposit equivalent to 5 weeks rent. No interest will accrue on the deposit, which will be registered with The Dispute Service (www.thedisputeservice.co.uk) in line with the new tenancy deposit scheme.

PERMITTED PAYMENTS
Early termination of your tenancy should you need to terminate your tenancy prior to the date in the agreement, we would need to seek permission from your landlord. We would normally need to find a new tenant to take over from the date you wish to vacate, but you will be responsible for the rent up to the date of the expiry of the agreement or until such time as new tenants sign a tenancy agreement, whichever is sooner. We will charge 50% of one month`s rent + VAT, representing the charge for early termination.
Replacement of a lost key/security devices, where required are charged at £50 or higher if reasonably required to cover cost of replacement keys/locks/fobs.
payments in respect of utilities, communication services, TV licence and council tax are the responsibility of the tenancy.

A default fee for late payment of rent is charged at 3% above the Bank of England base rate in interest on the late payment of rent from the date the payment is missed.
Amendments in tenancy contract/change in sharer (Tenants request) £50 Inc. VAT per change or any reasonable costs incurred if higher - to cover the costs associated with preparing and executing the paperwork required.


HOLDING FEE
A holding deposit will be required to reserve the property. This will be equal to One weeks rent and will go towards the total figure due on the date of occupancy. The holding deposit is taken and will be retained if the tenant provides false or misleading information, fails a Right to Rent Check, Withdraws from the property for no legitimate reason or fails to take all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement and the landlord or agent takes all reasonable steps to do so. If a holding deposit is taken and a tenancy has not been signed into with 15 days, we would require written consent from the landlord to extend this period. The holding deposit is refundable if the landlord withdraws from the tenancy for a non-legitimate reason.


LEASE
The property is available on an initial six/twelve month Assured Shorthold Tenancy with the possibility of renewing at the end of this period. The tenant will be responsible for the interior up keep of the premises. No Smokers or pets. The rent is to be paid monthly (in advance) on the first of every month by standing order.
