Step 1
the tenant’s offer is accepted by the Landlord, this could happen by phone, email or even in person.
Step 2
Once the Landlord has accepted your offer, we will commence with the pre-tenancy checks.
Step 3
The agent will then conduct Right-to-Rent Checks, Referencing, and customer due diligence (or anti-money laundering checks).
Step 4
Once the checks are completed, you can secure the rental with the payment of a holding deposit or pre-tenancy application charge. We will then negotiate the finer points of the tenancy and generate a Heads of Terms to ensure all parties agree on the terms.
Step 5
Once both parties agree to the tenancy terms, we will draw up the tenancy agreement for signature by both parties.
Step 6
The security deposit and rental will then need to be paid.
Step 7
We will then arrange for the key collection and for you to move into the property.
