We have put together an informative tenant guide to explain all the steps in renting a property with us. We endeavour to make letting a property in North West London easy, matching the right tenants with the right properties.
Why rent a property with us?
As a family-run business we make sure that you get the best possible, professional service backed up by fully qualified staff who can take you through every stage of the renting process with complete transparency on fees and paperwork. Many of us have rented property ourselves so we know how important it is to feel valued as a tenant and get quick solutions if problems arise.
We are National Association of Residential Agents (ARLA) propertymark protected and also a member of the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS) and the Property Ombudsman for Letting Agents. All our tenants’ deposits are registered with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), giving you the peace of mind that our work is performed to the highest professional standards. You can read more about our tenant services on behalf of Landlords here.
The renting process in detail
The first step is to find a property that you would like to call home. We have a comprehensive choice of properties to rent so please take a look and then contact a member of our team to register your details and requirements so we can suggest suitable properties and arrange viewings.
NEXT STEPS
Once you have found a suitable property and terms have been agreed between yourself and the landlord you will be asked to pay a deposit (usually 6 weeks’ rent), one month’s rent in advance and an administrative fee. You will also be asked to provide the following information/documents so we can carry out thorough referencing:
- A valid form of identification (i.e. current passport or driving licence).
- Proof of current address.
- National Insurance Number.
- Details of your employment – if self-employed, details of your accountant.
- Details of your bank.
All tenancies are subject to satisfactory references from your current landlord or property agent and is usually an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (unless it is a company let). Rent is payable in advance, monthly, and the deposit will be held in our landlord client’s account under the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).
Once the contracts are signed, on the day your tenancy commences, an independent inventory clerk will meet you at the property to go through the inventory, take the utility meter readings and hand over the keys.
And that’s it! London renting made simple!
