Guide for Tenants

Finding a property in the Croydon and surrounding areas
The first step is to contact us on 020 8090 1778 to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We only deal with employed tenants. The standard tenancy term is usully a year with a 6 months break clause

Other Areas
If you are looking for a property to rent outside the Croydon area, please go to our UK Network page.

Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.

Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a 'holding deposit' of £400 or more depending on the property and the time before the tenancy starts. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeited if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.

References
As a minimum we will require proof of ID , proof of address, satisfactory references from your employer and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. A credit check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also usually responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.

Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must be paid, and will be protected by the tenant protection scheme. This is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.

Fees
On applying fror tenancy at a property, we charge £85 per applicant and a tenancy agreement fee to cover administration and referencing costs, a proportion of which is refunded if the tenancy does not proceed.
