Tenants

We are the local experts in lettings and property management.

We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personal and helpful service to tenants.

We are aware that everyone’s requirements and budgets are different, so we will sit down with you, once you’ve registered your details, and document exactly what you are looking for.

We will then do our best to find you a suitable property based on your circumstances.

All our permitted tenant fees can be found here.

If you would like to register to receive details of current and upcoming properties for rent, please give us a call on 02392 380801 or click on the link below to drop us an email with your contact details, so we can contact you.

You’ve found a property! 

Once you have found a property with us that you would like to rent, the next step is for us is to reference you.

In order for us to do this you will need to complete the following documentation:

  • Tenants Terms of Business  – This is our contract with you and asks for information regarding the tenants who will be living in the property. 
  • Reference Application Forms – We use an independent referencing company called GOODLORD to carry out our tenant references. You will be asked to undergo a full application or credit check, depending on your current circumstances. If a guarantor is required,  this form will also need to be filled out at the same time. Forms can be filled out directly online, if you would prefer this option please supply an email address and contact number for each applicant being referenced.

Please remember to sign your forms as we are unable to process the information without your signed authorisation. 

  • Identification- We will require two forms of ID for each named tenant or guarantor that will be on the tenancy. (one of each from below)
  1. Photo – either a passport or driving licence (must be valid).
  2. Address verification- utility bill/bank statement, must be within 3 months old and registered to your current living address.

Once you have returned the above to us we will be able to start the process of referencing. After we have submitted the information onto GOODLORD’s system they will then carry out the required checks and will contact employers and former Landlords etc- please make sure you supply as many contact numbers and email address’ as possible as this will help speed up the process.

Please note: until we have received a decision back from GOODLORD we are not able to start a Tenancy so please be aware that the proposed date on the Terms of Business can be subject to change if there is a delay in referencing.
