Frequently asked questions;

What is a holding deposit?
Once you have viewed this property, you may submit an offer to rent (if you wish). If your offer to rent is accepted (subject to contract & references), you will be required to pay a holding deposit. Holding deposits are restricted to the maximum amount, equivalent of 1 week rent, under the Tenant Fee Ban 2019. Once you have paid the holding deposit, the property will be reserved for you for up to 14 days, whilst we reference you. Upon successful completion of referencing, your holding deposit will be refunded back to you, or discounted from your first month's rent. We reserve the right to decline your application to rent and retain your holding deposit, if you fail to declare, or intentionally omit information that is deemed to be relevant to our referencing enquiries, in keeping with the Tenant Fee Ban 2019. If you believe that you may not pass referencing, it is essential that you disclose this information before you pay the holding deposit.

What is Reposit?
Reposit is a deposit alternative provider. Reposit provides tenants the opportunity to move into a rental property without having to pay a deposit. For the cost equivalent of just one week's rent, you can move into a property without the need to physically pay a deposit, thus helping your cash flow when moving home. It's always nice to have a few extra quid in your pocket, for those unexpected moving costs. You can calculate the Reposit fee on any tenancy by dividing the monthly rent by 4.35.

What is the affordability requirement?
As a responsible agent, we are required to conduct affordability checks on prospective contract-holders. This means that in order to successfully meet the referencing criteria for this property, you must be able to demonstrate a minimum household income per month. A household means all income by all parties living in the property, above the age of 18. For example, if a couple were to apply and they each earned £1,200 per month (after taxation) then their combined household income would be £2,400. We can also take savings into account, as well as bonds or investments.

Does the landlord accept housing benefits?
We do not discriminate against anyone in receipt of universal credit or housing benefits. As a responsible agent, we are required to ensure that your household income meets the affordability requirement, so as long as you can prove where your household income comes front, being in receipt of universal credit or housing benefit is irrelevant. We may ask you to provide a UK guarantor, as some mortgage lenders and insurance providers stipulate this as a requirement.

What is a guarantor?
A guarantor is a friend or family member that will take financial responsibility if you breach your tenancy, such as failing to pay rent. A guarantor can be called upon at any time during the tenancy, and will remain as 'the guarantor' for however long you live in the property, including any extensions or renewals of that tenancy. To quality, the guarantor must meet the same affordability requirement and have a clean credit history.

Do I need a guarantor?
We may ask you to provide a guarantor if you do not meet the minimum criteria to rent. Some examples of when a guarantor may be necessary could include: Falling short on the affordability requirement, having no available landlord reference, or having some minor adverse credit history. We may ask you to provide a suitable guarantor if any of your household income is from universal credit or housing benefit, to ensure the landlord remains compliant with mortgage and insurance requirements.

What does Lets with Pets mean?
We are members of Lets with Pets, an initiative by Dogs Trust to help pet owners find suitable properties. This does not mean that all applications with pets will be accepted, nor does it mean that all of our properties are pet friendly, however if you are reading this, it means that we have spoken with the property owned about accepting tenancy applications from pet owners and they are open to considering your pets. Look out for the Lets with Pets logo on our properties!
