The Small Print

Once you have decided to take a room, there are some procedures that need to happen before you can move in:

  • You don’t need to pay an admin fee
  • You don’t need to pay a deposit
  • You do need to pay a £100 holding fee. This is just to hold the room for you whilst we carry out all our initial paperwork. This is refundable off the first month’s rent.
  • You need to fill in an application form so that we can take up landlord and employment references and carry out a credit reference check which we do through an external credit reference company

We need to see your:

  • last three bank statements
  • passport, driving licence or birth certificate
  • last three payslips or if you’re starting a new job
  • your letter of employment stating your salary

 

Once we have all the information back and we have fixed a date for you to move in, there are some more things that you need to do:

  • Sign your tenancy agreement – we are flexible on the length of the contract. Most landlords will only accept a minimum agreement of six months – we are happy to negotiate on whatever suits your circumstances.
  • Pay your rent from the date that you move in, pro rata until the last day of the month, minus the £100 holding fee.
  • Set up a standing order to pay the full monthly amount into our bank account on the first day of every month
  • Collect and sign for your keys
  • Move in!
