The same information is required for each applicant named on the contract or for the guarantor if applicable.

To secure the property and pause further viewings, a Holding Deposit is required.

We typically charge £50 per tenant / guarantor, but this will not exceed one week’s rent (in line with the legal limit under the Tenant Fees Act 2019).

 Liability for Late Return: If the Tenant fails to return the keys on the final day of the Tenancy, the Tenant will remain liable for:

1. The actual, reasonable costs incurred by the Landlord to replace the keys or change the locks (in accordance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019).

2. Any direct financial loss or damages suffered by the Landlord as a result of the Landlord being unable to gain entry or re-let the Property due to the missing keys.
