Guide for Tenants finding a property in Derby and Derbyshire

It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot assist D.S.S claimants as many of our Landlords will only accept Tenants who are in full time employment, and the Landlords consent must be obtained before pets are brought into their properties. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.

Viewings

These will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends. You will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.

Identifcation of Applicant

All prospective tenants must provide a valid form of identification (such as Passport,or UK photo driving licence,household utility bill) plus proof of their National Insurance Number ( such as a P60 or payslip) of which we will take a copy.

References

As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer/college and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference and sometimes a guarantor.The guarantor must be a UK Property Owner and be able to meet rental as well as their own commitments and declare this on the Guarantor Forms. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. We will use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.

Deposit

A security deposit of a minimum of one months rent must be paid at the time of signing the Tenancy Agreement, and will be lodged/recorded with one of the three appointed scheme administrators throughout the term of the tenancy. This is held to cover damage, breakages and other liabilities under the term of your tenancy agreement.This is assuming you have not taken out a policy with Let Insure through us. We would be pleased to help you to obtain insurance to protect your liabilities and belongings. To comply with the Money Laundering regulations, no part of money paid to us can be returned.

Fees

We charge a non refundeable fee of £60 inc vat per applicant/guarantor to cover administration and referencing costs (payable at the time of submitting the application), a proportion of which is refunded if the tenancy is declined by the Landlord. We may make an administration charge of £20 for each renewal of an existing agreement.
