Information on Costs and Fees There are no tenant fees for setting up a new tenancy. Reservation Deposit: To reserve a property, a Goodwill Deposit of £250 or one week’s rent (whichever is lower) is required. It is deducted from the first month’s rent or refunded if the landlord chooses not to proceed or no agreement is reached by the deadline (provided the tenant is not at fault). It is non-refundable if the tenant/guarantor gives misleading information, fails Right to Rent checks, withdraws, or does not take reasonable steps to progress the tenancy. Security Deposit: A deposit equal to five weeks’ rent is required and protected by the Deposit Protection Service or another approved scheme. It is returned at the end of the tenancy if there is no damage, rent arrears, or unpaid bills. It cannot be used as the final month’s rent. Tenants receive all required deposit information by law. Tenancy Agreement: All tenants and guarantors must sign the agreement before the tenancy starts. Keys are provided only at the start date. A sample agreement is available on request. Rent: Rent is due on or before the 1st of each month. If the month starts on a weekend, payment on the next working day is acceptable. For tenancies starting mid-month, rent is charged pro rata. Payments must be made by bank transfer; tenants must update standing orders if rent changes. Contract Changes: Requested changes after the tenancy begins require landlord approval and incur a £50 + VAT charge per amendment. Other Costs: Agents may charge for legally permitted items such as replacing lost keys. Full details are available on request.
