Finding a property
York &
Surrounding areas
The first step is to contact us to
provide brief details about yourself
and about the accommodation you
require. We then search our database
for suitable properties for you to
view. If not urgent, we log your
details so that we can contact you
as suitable properties become
available. 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 DSS claimants. Our tenancies
are granted for a minimum term of 6
months.
Other Areas
If you are looking for a property to
rent outside the York area, please go to
our
UK Network page.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times
to suit you, including evenings and
weekends, and you will invariably be
accompanied by a member of staff,
who can give advice and answer any
questions you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property,
you will need to reserve it by
paying a 'holding deposit', usually
equivalent to one week's rent.
Assuming that the tenancy goes
ahead, this will be deducted from
the monies due before you move in.
If the landlord declines to grant
the tenancy, it will be refunded.
However the deposit will be forfeit
if you decide not to proceed for any
reason, or if you fail to provide
complete and accurate information in
your application.
References
As a minimum we will require
satisfactory references from your
employer (or college), and a
previous or current landlord. We may
also require a personal reference,
and sometimes a guarantor. In
addition a credit check will be
undertaken. We may 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 month's rental must be
paid, and will be held by
ourselves as stakeholders in a
secure client account throughout
the tenancy term. This is held
to cover damage, breakages, and
any other liabilities under the
terms of your tenancy agreement.
Please note that under no
circumstances can the deposit be
used by the tenant to cover
rent.
Fees
We charge £45 per applicant to
cover administration and
referencing costs, a proportion
of which is refunded if the
tenancy does not proceed.
