Tenants

Holding Deposit

• Charge: For securing the property while references are checked.
• Amount: 1 week's rent
• If referencing is successful and both parties agree to proceed, the holding deposit will be applied towards the total 5-week tenancy deposit.
• If the tenant withdraws from the rental agreement after the deposit is paid, the holding deposit will not be refunded.
• If the tenant does not pass referencing, the holding deposit will be refunded minus £80 to cover the referencing costs.
• If the tenant passes referencing but the landlord or agent decides not to proceed, the full holding deposit will be refunded.

Tenancy Deposit

• Charge: As a security deposit for the property.
• Amount: 5 weeks' rent is to be paid
• Note: If a holding deposit has already been paid, only an additional 4 weeks' rent is required to complete the total deposit.
• We are a member of Client Money Protect, ensuring your deposit is safeguarded.

Rent in Advance

Ending Tenancy Early
