Application & Viewing Information

If you have seen our virtual viewing video, and are interested in applying for the property please follow the link to the application page (This may only appear on the web version rather than the app). We will need one application per household. The landlord will make a decision on which applicant they wish to proceed with and their decision will be final. If your application is accepted, we will then be able to get a physical viewing booked in.

Reposit

We’ve partnered with a company called Reposit who offer an alternative to paying a cash deposit. By using Reposit you can save a lot of money upfront as you will only need to pay the Reposit fee of £161.53 instead of a cash deposit which will be £807.00. The Reposit fee is not refundable at the end of the tenancy. You can use the money you save to spend on something you actually want!

Please note that just like a normal deposit, you are still liable for any valid, end-of-tenancy charges. The difference with Reposit is that you keep control of your cash and only pay these if they actually occur at the end of your tenancy, rather than paying at the start. If you stay beyond a 12 month period, a £30 charge will be payable to reposit once a year to continue the cover.

This is optional and a normal deposit scheme is also available. Reposit is subject to certain referencing criteria and may not be granted following referencing.

Cost Information

If your application is successful and, following a viewing, you proceed to referencing stage, a holding deposit equal to £161.53 will be taken via our referencing platform LetAlliance. This will then go towards your first month's rent when the tenancy starts.

The holding deposit will be retained by the agent if the tenancy falls through for one of the following reasons:

* You decide not to rent the property

* You give wrong or misleading information

* You cannot pass a 'right to rent' immigration check

The standard deposit on this property will be £807.00
