Our tenant referencing process is thorough and includes credit history checks, employer verification, and previous landlord references. Most of our paperwork and legal documents are completed online using advanced technology and DocuSign for your convenience.
Rental Payments and Security Deposits
- Initial Payments: One month's rent in advance is required, along with a security deposit equivalent to five weeks' rent, which is held against damages or breaches of the tenancy. Please note that all funds must be transferred in cleared funds on the day of signing the tenancy agreement.
- Monthly Rent: Rents are typically quoted on a calendar monthly basis and are paid in advance by standing order to our Belvoir Client account. The first month's rent must be received in cleared funds at the time of signing the tenancy agreement.
- Security Deposit Management: The equivalent of five weeks' rent will be held as a security deposit. If we manage the property, your deposit will be registered with The Tenancy Deposit Service (www.depositprotection.com), and you can contact them at 0330 303 0030 for assistance.
