Maxgate Properties is an independent estate agency based in the county town of Dorchester.

We would be delighted to meet you to discuss all your property needs whether you are just considering or actively looking to sell, buy or lease a property within the local area.

Maxgate Properties Lettings – Information for Tenants

 

To
reserve a property, you need to complete an application form and give proof of
identity and residency.  You will also
have to pay a holding deposit (normally the equivalent of one months’ rent).  The deposit will be held by Maxgate
Properties and used as the first month’s rent. 
We will then cease to market the property.  The holding deposit is only refundable if the
landlord withdraws the property from the market and does not fall within the
Tenancy Deposit Scheme or any other approved Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme

We
are required to obtain personal and financial references.  If a guarantor is required, they will also
have to undergo referencing.   On receipt
of satisfactory references, a tenancy agreement will be drawn up.  

An
Administration Fee of £150 plus VAT is chargeable to cover the Referencing and
Tenancy Agreement costs.  

A
Deposit, equivalent to one and a half
months’ rent is required to cover breakages and dilapidations.  This is payable prior to the tenancy start
date.  If the property is managed by
Maxgate Properties the deposit will be held by Maxgate Properties as
Stakeholder and registered with The Tenancy Deposit Scheme, a government approved
Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme.  At
the end of the tenancy the deposit is returned to you less any agreed
deductions.  If the landlord manages the
property Maxgate Properties will confirm the scheme in which the deposit will
be held.

At
the end of the tenancy we are required to carry out a Check Out inventory to
ensure that the property is left in the same condition as when the tenant moved
in.  The fee, paid prior to the end of
the tenancy is £75 plus VAT for an unfurnished property.  The fee for a furnished property will depend
on the size of the property but will be no more than £150 plus VAT.

 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on July 4, 2023

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

 Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s 
 Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s 
 Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

 The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 4, 2023

 Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

 Clear: No bars, no signal predicted 
 Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely 
 Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity 
 Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services 
 Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

 Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on November 2, 2021 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
