Services offered to Tenants

If you are a potential tenant then you will want to know what we can do for you.

As a member of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) at www.nfopp.co.uk you can be assured that the property you rent from us is managed by an Agency which endeavors to maintain the highest standards to ensure your safety and comfort throughout your tenancy.

The ARLA bonding scheme (go to About Us) works for you as well.

If when you have viewed a property you wish to apply for it, each person over the age of 18 who wishes to live in the house will need to complete an application form. We will employ a credit reference agency to provide a credit rating and this agency will take up employer and landlord references. There is a non-refundable administration fee for this. Attached to the application form is a tenant information letter to guide you through the process.

If you are accepted by the landlord and before you move into the property, you will normally need to pay one month's rent in advance, a security deposit bond equal to one month's rent plus £100, an administration fee toward the preparation of the inventory and agreement and possibly stamp duty. If the property is already empty, our aim is to move you into the property within a week to ten days of your application form being received at this office subject to the receipt of satisfactory references and the landlords approval.
