Frequently Asked Questions

How much are your fees and what are they used for?

Application Fees are £100 for the first applicant and then £50 per other applicant over the age of 18. This fee is used for,  Referencing (Landlord and Employer), drawing up the Tenancy Agreements and Credit Searches. This also covers costs for (if any) Guarantor referencing. We do not charge tenancy renewal fees!

How long will it take for my application to be processed?

The Application Process usually takes up to 7 days. This is dependent on how quickly your references come back to us. After this, the tenant is free to move into the property. 

If the application is likely to take longer than 7 days, we will let you know!
