Viewing
The quickest way to arrange a viewing is to contact the office by phone. You can also fill in the form on the contact us page and we will get back in touch with you as soon as possible. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm & Saturday morning. Viewing for some property can also be arranged for early evening and weekends.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding deposit', this is usually the full deposit. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeited if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.
Costs
The following amounts are due when you take on the Tenancy of a property.
Agency fee + Deposit + 1st months rent = Total Cost to move in.
Example:
| Item 1 Months rent in advance, say Deposit - 1 months rent Agents Admin fee |
Cost £450 £450 £100 |
| Total initial cost = £1000.00 | |
All rents are due on the first of each month by Standing Order. Late rents are charged accordingly.
Other Costs when Renting Property

It is important to ensure that new accounts are set up in

IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS DONE. Under the
terms of your tenancy agreement, you are responsible for these
bills from the start of your tenancy.
