Your Bond Deposit
The Bond deposit is payable on signing your tenancy agreement. As soon as the deposit is paid it will be registered and held by The Deposit Protection Service, a government approved scheme. The funds are held by the DPS for the duration of your tenancy.
The deposit will be refunded once you have vacated the property and the check out inspection completed. If there are any deductions this may delay the refund process. All claims are made through the DPS online portal.
We work with you ensure that all claims are fair and reasonable. Should a decision not be reached then the claim will be passed to an independent adjudicator.
Rental Payments
Your rental payments are payable in advance by standing order prior to your rent due date. If you are unsure of what day your rent is due then please refer to your tenancy agreement or contact the office.
For any late rental payments, charges may be incurred in line with the terms and conditions of your tenancy agreement. If you feel you will not be able to pay your rent on time, it's always best to pre-empt this and contact us as soon as possible to discuss the situation.
Finding A New Home
Once you have completed the viewing process and found your new home you will be required to pay a holding fee of 1 weeks rent. This is used to hold the property until your references have been completed and your contracts signed. These funds are refunded as soon as your tenancy application has been completed.
You may be required to provide a guarantor should you not meet the referencing criteria. The guarantor will agree to make any payments should you be in breach of your agreement. Once your references have been completed and your tenancy agreements signed, we will arrange your move in date. Key collection will be arranged from our office in Cowbridge
