Here you will find important information about renting a property. We have broken the information down into manageable sections. It’s advisable to go through the process in more detail, so please make an appointment here and we’ll be delighted to share our knowledge with you.
Usually rent excludes council tax and all utilities, which you must
pay separately, but includes service charges and ground
rent.
Deposit
Usually a deposit is equivalent to six weeks' rent. This is held by
your lasndlord or our agency for possible damages
during the tenancy.
On checkout, this will be returned to you, once proof of payment of
all utilities is provided and after deducting the cost
of cleaning and repairing any damages that may have
occurred. In most cases, such costs are minimal and
the better you look after the property during your
tenancy the lower the costs are likely to be.
