Tenant Fees
We DO NOT charge fees to tenants moving into our properties.
Our landlords require a one-off security deposit which is normally an amount of 5-weeks rent and this gets secured in one of the government recommended schemes for security purposes and upon vacating the property this is refunded, so long as the property is handed back in the condition it is found in (you will be advised on the exact protection scheme when you move in).
Fees that CAN BE charged are:
Variation of Contract:
£50 (including VAT) per agreed variation at the tenant’s request to include the cost of the preparation and execution of new documentation.
£50 (including VAT) per agreed variation at the tenant’s request to keep a pet at the property.
Reasonable Charges for Breach of Contract:
Unauthorised late payment of rent after 14 days: 3% above Bank of England base rate.
£50 (including VAT) per agreed replacement tenant at the tenant’s request to include the cos of Right to Rent checks, deposit registration and the preparation and execution of new legal documents.
Reasonable charges for lost keys or security fobs.
Reasonable charges for de-fleaing a property as a result of tenants having pets.
Reasonable charges for gardening or grounds maintenance.
Early Termination
If the tenant wishes to leave the contract early and there is no brea clause, the tenant shall pay the rent until the start date of any replacement tenancy together with the landlord’s re-letting costs (in accordance with our published landlord letting fees); such costs to be no more that the maximum amount of rent outstanding on the tenancy.
Ask us about our FlatFair scheme should you not have or not want to pay the full 5-week deposit.

I'm sorry for the confusion regarding the collection of keys, the shop keeper misunderstood the times of when need the keys to be collected, I believe the shop keeper apologized for the confusion at the time you collected the keys. In regard to your comments about my rude behaviour I feel this to be unfair and untrue as I have always been courteous throughout the entire process and have even gone out of my way to respond to your emails and queries even whilst being on holiday. I feel we have acted professionally throughout the entire process and disappointed to hear you have been unhappy with our service.
