Yes we can arrange this for you.

In order to secure a property and take it off the market you will be asked to sign a tenancy agreement. All documents are sent via email in order to limit the traffic into our office. You will also be required to pay your deposit once the contract has been signed.

Providing we have received all previously requested documentation and rent for your group, keys for your property will be available from 1pm on the date your tenancy begins. For many of our properties, this will be the 1st July and inevitably it will be busy. With this in mind it may be easier to collect your keys on another day if that suits you. Alternatively, you may wish to collect all the keys for your group at one time as they can be released to just one tenant. This may be useful if you have housemates wanting to move in on a weekend when we may not be open.

You will be asked to sign an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement which will run for an agreed fixed term. This is a joint and several liability agreement which means you are all jointly responsible for the payment of rent for the property. To alleviate some of this responsibility from you and your housemates, we require each of you to have a guarantor.

When you move in to a property you must take meter readings for gas, electricity and water (where applicable). You then have to register all utilities in your name and that of your fellow housemates, and give the companies the readings you have taken. Further information detailing what to do and who to contact will be given to you at the time of moving in.

Should you wish to move out early you will need to perform a reassignment, this is the process of finding a tenant to replace you in the tenancy agreement. Please contact the office if this is something you are considering.

All one and two bed properties require a deposit equal to one month’s rent. For large, shared properties of three or more bedrooms, you are required to pay a deposit of £300 per person. All deposits will be registered with The Tenancy Deposit Scheme (see below for further details).

You do not need to pay any rent at the time of signing but we will require you to complete a direct debit mandate to authorise the rental payments to be collected when they become due.

Rent schedules will be available in the tenancy agreement.
