The Renting Process

Please contact us to register your requirements so that we can add you to our database. That way we can let you know about any new instructions as soon as they become available.

Viewings:

We will arrange viewings at dates and times to suit you as well as the owners / existing occupiers.

References:

To obtain references, we utilise the services of an independent referencing company.

Holding Deposit:

Following a successful viewing, if an applicant would like to proceed to apply to rent the property the next step is to pay a holding deposit. The application will be secure following the payment equal to one week’s rent. The property will then be taken off the market whilst referencing is conducted and right to rent checks are obtained.

The holding deposit can be held for a maximum of 15 days. If a tenancy is not entered into during this time period, the property will be placed back on the market and the holding deposit will be returned.

The holding fee will be refunded against the rent if the application is successful. The holding deposit is non-refundable in the following circumstances;

  1. The tenant withdraws from the let
  2. If the tenant fails the Right to Rent check
  3. If the tenant provides us with false information with regards to references
  4. If the tenant does not enter into a tenancy within the agreed time frame because they have not made reasonable steps to do so.

Deposit:

A security deposit must be paid and will be held in a government approved scheme. React Property Management partner with the Deposit Protection Service (DPS).

Security Deposit (per tenancy. Rent under £50,000 per year) — Five weeks’ rent.

Security Deposit (per tenancy. Rent of £50,000 or over per year) — Six weeks’ rent.

In no circumstances can the deposit be used to cover rent. The deposit is there to cover damages, breakages or any other liabilities under the terms of the individual tenancy agreement.

Other (possible) fees:

Lost Key(s) or other Security Device(s):Cost dependent on work required by locksmith / key or fob type. 
Early Termination (Tenant’s Request):Charged at the landlord’s re letting costs PLUS the tenant will be responsible for the rent and bills up to and including the day before the new tenant moves in (subject to references and a signed contract). 
Unpaid Rent 
LocksmithsCost of labour & call out fee.
Tenant swap fee(At Landlords discretion): £50
