We offer a more personal service than many larger companies are able to do.

A holding fee of
£200 is required to secure a property and covers the cost of administration,
credit and reference checks. For a single application the cost is £114 (£95 &#43;
VAT) and £192 (£160 &#43; VAT) for a joint application. The remaining balance of
£86 for a single application or £8 for a joint application will be deducted
from the tenant’s first months’ rent when moving into a property. Additional
reference applications per property will be charged at £78 (£65 &#43; VAT).

The tenant fee ban introduced on the 1st June 2019 and affects any tenancy that starts from this date. Landlords and letting agents are now unable to charge any fees whatsoever in the set up of a tenancy. Therefore tenants are not required to pay fees for referencing, preparation of tenancy agreements or inventories etc nor any costs directly in relation to the tenancy itself. Landlords and agents are however within their rights to charge a refundable holding deposit should a tenant wish to pursue the rental of a property. In view of this we will take a holding deposit equivalent to no more than 1 weeks rent, and should the tenancy proceed this will be deducted from the 1st months rent or security deposit. If the tenancy does not proceed this holding fee is refundable.The tenant fee ban also makes clear details of the level of the security deposit. under the ban the maximum security deposit that can be taken for a property can be no more than 5 weeks rent. In view of this the security deposit for this property will be 5 weeks rent and will be lodged within the DPS Custodial Deposit Scheme once the tenancy startsFurther information is available within our Prospective Tenant Guidelines
