Process of renting a house from us
We are delighted you are considering renting one of our lovely properties! Please see the below process of securing your next student house.
The Procedure
House Viewing
We will give you a guided tour of our properties and will answer any questions you have. Viewings are appointment only so please get in touch with us to book if you haven't already. You must view the property before taking the next steps in securing the house, we insist this on all of our houses as we like you to fully understand the property and have no surprises.
You like the House
Once you have viewed the property and everyone in your group is happy to go ahead please get in touch as soon as possible to let us know. We work on a first come, first serve basis to make it as fair as possible.
Securing the Property
Once we have it confirmed you would like to go ahead with the property, we need you to confirm you will have a UK based guarantor for each tenant and understand the rental amount. The contracts run from 3rd July 2024 until 28th June 2025, unfortunately these dates can not be changed on any of the contracts as we need to make sure the houses are tip top for when you move in. To secure the property and take it off the market a holding fee will need to be paid. The holding fee is £100 per person and will be deducted from your deposit. This is non refundable if you decided not to go ahead with the house.
Contract
We aim to get the contracts out to you and all signed within 14 days of the holding fee being paid. The paperwork will include personal details forms, guarantor forms, copies of ID for yourself and guarantor and a copy of your student card. We will process the contract and send it to your group to sign online via Docusign. If we fall out of the 14 days we will review the progress and can potentially re-market the property if progress is not being made.
Deposit
Once the contract is signed by all parties including the guarantors, the remaining deposit is requested. We will then register this with MyDeposits who are a Government backed scheme until the end of your tenancy.
Congratulations!
Once you have paid the deposit, the house is officially yours from the 3rd July 2024! We will be in touch nearer the time with your move in details pack and appointment times to collect your keys.
