An individual's tenancy will be an assured shorthold tenancy with
a minimum term of 6 months. We are able to let for shorter periods
but this may restrict your choice. Every property we have has been
personally inspected and will usually be let either fully furnished
or unfurnished - although unfurnished properties will often include
the carpets, curtains and some basic ‘white’ goods such as a
cooker.
Our terms of renting are that you provide one month’s rent in
advance and a deposit at least equal to one month’s rent. If you are
coming from overseas or have other special circumstances that limit
the UK references you can provide then a larger sum of deposit
and/or rent in advance will be expected.
Once finding a property, you will be expected to pay a holding
payment, this will amount to Local Lets fees which are a
quarter of one months rent for administration and £60 for the
preparation of a legal document, both these fees are subject to VAT
(currently 17.5%). Once this amount is paid, the property will
be considered to be reserved. Then we will take references as stated
above.
