Find and rent your dream home

Tenant’s Guide

When renting a property there is no reason to accept anything less than the dream home you’ve always wanted. Here are some tips for renting a house.

Register your details

The first step

Once you’ve registered with us you can easily be advised about the properties available within your budget.
Things to consider:

Location and budget
Take into account your bills as well as monthly rent i.e Council Tax/Gas and Electric
How long will you need the accommodation for?
When would you like to move in?

Find a property

Our highly trained lettings experts will help you find a property.

They will make you aware of suitable rental properties as soon as we receive instructions. We can arrange viewings for you between 9am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday 9am and 4pm on Saturdays.

3. Secure your home

The exciting part!

The best rental properties get snapped up very quickly, so if you want to make sure you don’t miss out on your dream rental we recommend you put your offer in as soon as you can. We will need you to complete our ‘confirmation of offer form and tenants guide’ at this stage. Once we have agreed the terms we will ask you for a non refundable reference and administration fee.

4. Tenancy agreement

Your Move Coordinator will take over now.

They will provide you with a copy of our standard tenancy agreement if you have not requested it previously and carry out the referencing process which we will aim to complete within 72 hours.

5. Reference checks

These will include:

Three years’ address history.
Current landlord reference.
Confirmation of earnings from your employer.

If you are self employed:

We will look to obtain an accountant’s reference.
Credit check.

6. Deposit in place

You’re almost there.

Once the tenancy referencing is completed we will request payment of the first months rent, deposit and check in fee (if applicable). Within 3 days of the receipt of these funds we will send you a draft of your tenancy agreement and ask you to come into the office to sign it. We will also make all of the arrangements for your check in.

7. Signing

Meeting with your move coordinator.

Your move coordinator who will talk you through all of the paperwork surrounding your tenancy. During this meeting you will sign the various documents and your move coordinator will sign on behalf of the landlord. You will be provided with copies of all the tenancy paperwork. The next step will be your check in!
