We recognise that moving into rented accommodation can be as stressful as purchasing a property.
Our step by step guide is an aid to assist you with a comfortable hassle free move with no unexpected surprises.
Before you decide to commence with searching for a property you will need to ensure that you have the following
Once you have decided which type of property you would like to let out you can collect a printed lettings list or search on our website at www.reedresidential.co.uk , Our lettings advisor will then guide you through the properties that fit your criteria and explain any further details.
We have found your ideal property, to reserve one of our properties you and any member of your family that are over 18 will need to supply the following:
At this stage your financial contribution will need to be:
We would advise to pay any monies in cleared funds to avoid any delays to your application.
Your application form is emailed to our business partner rentchecks.com who will carry out the following minimum checks:
Providing the details you have supplied ate all correct and in full you could expect a decision with 48 hours of your application being submitted.
Rentchecks may request that you supply a guarantor if your credit score is very low or your salary affordability is too low.
If we find it necessary to carry out a reference on a guarantor an additional administration fee will be levied by rentchecks.
It is very rare that references fail, however this may occur for a multiple of reasons which will be explained to you.
Sometimes it is possible to bypass this if the landlord will accept a working guarantor or pay the rental in advance for the term of the contract.
If however you are unable to fulfil either of the above your administration fee is non refundable, although you can always re apply for another property within 3 months and not pay a further fee
A daily rate will also be deducted from your property retainer fee from the date that the property was reserved unto the day that you failed your reference.
Congratulations you have passed, at this stage we shall call you to arrange a date and time to sign your tenancy and move in to the property, in between we will organise a gas and electrical safety check for your landlord.
Also, all the documents required for signing will be prepared, we can provide you with a sample tenancy agreement for you to read or show your legal advisor before the move date. A sample tenancy agreement can be provided upon request.
You will then need to advise all of the utility suppliers that you will be moving into the property so that all supplies are switched on so you do not have any nasty surprises.
For your assistance we have provided a list of general suppliers that you will need to call
Arrive at our offices with identification for all parties including your guarantor (if required) at the designated time agreed with our team, the signing up process may take up to 1 hour, on the day you will be asked to sign the following documents
You will also be required to pay your months rent in cleared funds and a copy of your tenants contents insurance policy.
