Tenant Referencing

General

We will instruct checks to be completed via one of our partners.

Specific to Landlord

Acceptance of all offers are subject to satisfactory references and contract and does not guarantee a tenancy of any sort.

Collection of a holding deposit and reference checks is included as part of a Subscription or Fully Managed service. You may instruct us to carry out reference checks as part of any Standard service and choose to add on collection of a holding deposit for additional fees as listed on the site.

Reference checks will consider credit history, income references and landlord references. The completed report will provide you with an indication of the suitability of applicants in relation to the specific tenancy offered.

You have the right to withdraw acceptance of offers at any time and will incur a penalty to cover our reasonable costs where references have been started even if not yet complete.

Where the tenant pays a holding deposit and we can demonstrate that they have deliberately provided misleading information or fail to disclose any information which leads to a failed reference then a penalty fee equivalent to the cost of reference checks shall be retained from the holding deposit.

You may be entitled to raise a claim from any holding deposits you have asked us to collect on your behalf for your costs or losses in the event that the applicants provided false or misleading information to be accepted for a tenancy provisionally. To do this you must notify us in writing and we will then notify the applicants of your intention and process payments accordingly. You agree that any claims will be in accordance with the Tenant Fee Act 2019 and accept responsibility for any proceedings which may arise following complaint or legal process should the claim be found to breach the applicants rights. Where any award for fee reimbursement or compensation is made on the part of the applicants by an authority or court then you agree to pay these costs.

Specific to tenant/guarantor

Acceptance of an offer to let does not grant or provide guarantee of a tenancy. You agree that we may serve documentation to you via the digital portal or by email.

When requested you will make payment of a holding deposit within 24 hours of notification that your application is accepted subject to checks and agree to be bound by the terms as displayed in your account on the website as part of the holding deposit agreement. This holding deposit amount will be equivalent to one weeks rent.

You agree to provide information when requested and that this information is true to the best of your knowledge to enable us to consider your suitability before commencement of reference checks. Failure to provide this information at the early stage may lead to an unsatisfactory result on the checks themselves which may result in fees being deducted from your holding deposit.

Where you require a guarantor, you are responsible for determining that they meet the requirements in order to act as a guarantor. You agree to obtain their permission to provide details for a pre-check before proceeding to a full check. A failed guarantor check will result in a declined application.

Should your application fail as a result of providing false, misleading information or failing to provide information which affects your suitability then a penalty fee equivalent to that which is set out in your holding agreement on the website shall be retained from the holding deposit to cover the reasonable costs incurred by either us or the Landlord.

Where your application is successful you agree to use the holding deposit towards your first month’s rent or full deposit which will be protected.

You agree to provide all necessary information within 72 hours as requested to assist the checks. After such time if we are unable to complete checks for any reason then you agree that your application may be closed, and the property remarketed. Penalty fees to cover the cost of checks shall be recovered from the holding deposit before return to you.

You can withdraw your offer at any time and will pay a penalty fee to cover the reasonable cost of reference checks per person that either us or the Landlord have incurred. Should the Landlord incur any losses as a result of withdrawal then these may be recovered from your holding deposit.

Tenancy Documentation

You may purchase and instruct a tenancy document pack without using any other Services and agree to obtain the authority of the parties to the document to share their data for the purposes of providing this service.

You agree to check these documents to satisfy yourself that they are fit for purpose and signed before handing over keys or paying any funds for the tenancy.

You agree to provide such documents for this pack as required, including safety certificates. If these are not provided, then you agree to provide them directly to the tenant at the outset of the tenancy.

We do not carry out Right to Rent checks as standard or verify physical ID of tenant/s and guarantor/s you agree to complete these checks.

Deposit Collection & Lodging

Deposit collection and lodging is carried out where we have completed reference checks and the tenancy is a new tenancy as part of the Subscription or Fully Managed service.

A charge of £35 applies for deposit collections and lodging where we are not providing a Subscription or Managed service.

We will hold any funds received in a client account.

We will create the deposit with a custodial scheme with Deposit Protection Service (DPS) for Subscription & Standard services and Tenancy Deposit Scheme(TDS) for Managed services. Prescribed information and a copy of the deposit certificate shall be provided to your tenants with an opportunity to sign as required.

Should you wish to use an insured scheme or My Deposits you agree to collect and serve the appropriate paperwork yourself.

Managed services include holding the deposit throughout the tenancy for all other collections once lodged we will require your DPS Landlord/Agent ID number to transfer this deposit to your own account to be held for the duration of the tenancy.

If there are errors in the details which the deposit is lodged under, you and the tenant agree that the deposit will be released to us in full so that it may be registered again correctly.

Where we are not provided with the transfer information we may make a charge to hold the deposit on your behalf to cover our administrative and reconciliation costs. This would be £60 per year or part of that this is held after the first 60 days of the tenancy.

Alternative Deposit Guarantees

A cash deposit is required in all tenancies to be paid at the start of the tenancy unless by agreement a deposit guarantee is provided in its place. Failure to provide either of these will result in a delay to the tenancy start.
