Find a home you like and arrange a viewing with our dedicated lettings team. If after the viewing you decide that you’d like to reserve the home, we’ll arrange for a £100 holding deposit to be collected.

Reservation
You’ll receive a link to one of our partners to arrange for payment of the holding deposit (for more information, please see our terms and conditions). Once you have paid this deposit, we’ll stop marketing the home and your reference checks will begin.

Payment of move in monies
Move in monies are upfront rental payments for the month you move in, which are paid 7 working days before your tenancy start date. If your tenancy agreement starts on or before the 16th of the month, you will need to pay for the remainder of the month.
If your tenancy starts on or after the 17th of the month, you will need to pay the remainder of the month and the following month in advance. Your holding deposit will be deducted from this amount and we will provide a full breakdown for you.

On or before your move in date, we’ll arrange for a welcome meeting to help you familiarise yourself with your new home. If this meeting is on your move in day, we’ll also take your meter readings and inform the utilities companies for you.
