When a tenant wants to make an offer to rent the property we will contact you to confirm the details and any specific requirements. We agree these provisionally ‘subject to contract’ before we progress an application. The provisional details will include the rent payable, tenancy deposit due, planned start date, duration of the letting and any special requests or terms together with brief details of the prospective tenant’s current employment.

All prospective tenants must fully complete a reference application form including their current employer and landlord. Additional enquires will be made if required from former employers and landlords and a personal referee. A credit reference agency will take up the references, including a credit check and the property will be let to them subject to their credit check approval and affordability checks.

If the property is in need of any work, our in-house maintenance department will bring the property up to standards conditions and complete any agreed works.
