Important referencing guidelines for all prospective tenants

The landlord has accepted your offer on the property. In order to assist you, it is important that you supply us with essential information to enable us to reference you properly. It is essential that all the information requested is supplied and the form is fully completed and legible. Missing information will delay your application and may endanger your application for the tenancy.

Procedure for Securing a Tenancy

The landlord has instructed us to act on their behalf and seek suitable tenants. You are required to provide personal details including name, address and student documentation. You are required to provide landlord/agent references, proof of student status and finance and provide a suitable guarantor as we can only agree to a tenancy on behalf of the landlord, subject to satisfactory replies from these referees.

Guarantor

All student applicants must provide a suitable guarantor. This person should be a homeowner, over 25 years of age, in full time employment (or able to provide proof of income), living in the UK and earning at least 2.5 times the proposed annual rent. They will need to meet satisfactory reference checks and will be expected to sign a joint and several tenancy agreement along with the prospective tenants to guarantee their legal commitments in the Tenancy.

Deposits and Rents

Once we receive satisfactory responses from your referees you will be offered the Tenancy of the property, subject only to confirmation from the landlord of their acceptance of application, the Terms and Conditions of the Tenancy Agreement and payment of agreed advance of rent and required tenancy security deposit.

The Tenancy deposit acts as a security for your performance of your obligations as a Tenant under the terms of the Tenancy Agreement. This deposit will be returned to you at the end of the Tenancy term without interest and subject to any deductions that may be necessary to compensate the landlord for any breach of the Tenancy Agreement.

Pets

Pets are not permitted in our student properties.

Utilities

All property rents quotes are exclusive of utilities and council tax (unless otherwise stated).

Refund of fees

If the Landlord refuses to proceed, despite satisfactory references being obtained for all applicants, your full Holding deposit will be refunded. However if the letting does not go ahead due to default by any of the prospective tenants the fee is non-refundable.

If any of the prospective tenants, or guarantors, fail their credit checks or their references are unsatisfactory the holding fee will not be returned to you.

Please ensure that form is properly and fully completed together with supporting documents outlined at the start of this form.

Please note that each applicant aged 18 years and over MUST fully complete a separate application form. It is in your interest to complete this form clearly and accurately to avoid unnecessary delays in processing. Please be advised that all details will be checked and verified so it will assist in the prompt processing of your application if you contact those parties whose details you may give within this form, requesting them to respond immediately to confirmation requests made to them.
