To reserve a property and to stop any further viewings, prospective tenants are required to pay applications fees. Everyone over the age of 18 years old who will be living at the property is required to be on the tenancy agreement and will need to be fully referenced. Application fees can be paid using a debit or credit card over the telephone (please note, payments by credit card are subject to a 2.5% handling charge) or by visiting one of our branches where we also accept cash payments. All application fees paid in respect of a tenancy application are non refundable and will be forfeited in the event the tenant/s decides to withdraw there application and/or fails the referencing process.

If a guarantor cannot be provided, the tenant can choose to pay rent in advance; however this is subject to the landlord’s approval. The guarantor will need to complete an application form which maybe subject to an additional fee.
