A holding deposit will not be refunded if the tenancy is not taken up for any of the following reasons:-

Any reference or credit check is not satisfactory; or
Any information supplied on the application form is untrue, inaccurate or misleading; or
The applicant changes their mind and decides not to take the tenancy applied for or delays in doing so; or
Any reference has not been received within 14 days of request and the property is remarketed; or
If an applicant does not have the right to rent the property pursuant to the Immigration Act 2014 and that was not mentioned in their application form.
Please note as of the 14th May 2025, there has been a change to the Anti Money Laundering Legislation. It is now a requirement that all agents check Landlords and Tenants against the UK Sanctions List provided by the Government.
