Right to Rent We are required by law to check that tenants and other adults who will be living with them have a legal right to reside in the UK. This check must be carried out for everyone regardless of nationality. Please note therefore that all intended occupiers of a rental property will need to bring their original passport (or other suitable evidence of their right to live in the UK) in person for verification before the commencement of any application. Non-compliance will result in access to the property being denied until the necessary checks have been made. We will also request and checks will be carried out on documentation i.e. Bank statements, wage slips to support an application. Holding Deposit – £250.00 A holding deposit will be held while we carry out the referencing checks on you. This will allow us to remove the property from future viewings while we work on your application. If the property becomes unavailable due to any reasons presented by the landlord we will refund the full amount however, if you decide you do not wish to proceed, you fail referencing, or are unable to provide a guarantor when required you will lose the holding deposit and this will be presented to the landlord for the time wasted. This sum will be deducted from the final payment you make before obtaining your keys. The balance must be settled in full at least 3 days before receiving the keys.
