6. Tenant Application Approval

Once a tenancy application is received and ID supplied, a fee is charged to the tenant to cover the cost of referencing and to ensure that any application made is genuine.

Referencing is carried out once you have accepted an application in principle.

Once an application is accepted, the property is taken off the market and regarded as ‘let subject to contract’.

Should anything untoward be discovered during referencing, an explanation will be sought and the information passed to the landlord for their consideration.

7. Contracts and Inventory

Once referencing is complete contracts are drawn up, an inventory prepared and photographs taken of the property to show the overall condition of the interior and of the garden areas.

After the tenant has signed the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements, an appointment is made with them to check through the inventory at the property, usually within 7 days.

Fully managed properties: the original inventory is kept in our file and a copy is provided for the tenant.

Let only: a copy of the inventory is kept by us, a copy sent to the tenant and the original sent to the landlord.

8. Utilities Handover
