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.

We will provide a service to check references where instructed and available. These 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 and where you have incurred the cost this shall be reimbursed to you.

Specific to tenant/guarantor

Acceptance of an offer to let does not grant or provide guarantee of a tenancy.

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. 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.

Tenancy Documentation

You have the option of using the digital document service which we shall provide.

You must produce this from within your Landlord Account and input all the required data, you are responsible for checking and confirming this is correct before issuing the document. Where the documents include mistakes requiring a resend you will pay a fee to cover the cost of £35.

You accept that this document is generic and where you need to include specific clauses or specially negotiated clauses you will arrange your own tenancy contract.

Provided documents do not come with any guarantee of their effectiveness in courts or tribunals for the purposes of possession as you are required to carry out several additional checks and steps.

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

We will hold any funds received in a client account.

We will create the deposit with Deposit Protection Service (DPS) under their custodial scheme and transfer this to them on receipt.

Where we are not instructed to hold this deposit throughout (Managed services only), we will arrange transfer to your DPS account. You agree to register for an account, if you do not have one already, and provide the Landlord ID number for transfer. In the event that you do not provide this number and Make Ur Move holds the funds under their own name a fee of £35 per year will apply.

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 you collect the deposit, you must make these arrangements yourself and provide any documentation.

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.

We partner with Zero Deposit which provides a deposit guarantee scheme.

ZDG: Zero Deposit Guarantee sold through Zero Deposit ("ZD"), a trading name of Global Property Ventures Limited, and provided by Great Lakes Insurance SE which the Tenant may, at the Tenant's option, purchase as a substitute for the Cash Deposit. The terms and conditions of the ZDG are set out in detail in the ZDG documentation provided to the Tenant and Landlord by ZD. For copies of the ZDG documentation, contact help@zerodeposit.com

We provide the option to tenants as standard; landlords will need to opt out of this service upon registration if they do not wish to accept this.

Where the tenancy has multiple tenants they must all choose either a cash deposit or deposit guarantee and cannot have a combination.

A cash deposit equivalent to the maximum amount permitted under the Tenant Fee Act 2019 shall be required immediately where a guarantee is cancelled during a tenancy.

Good Landlord & Rent Protection Subscriptions
