Tenant information & costs
Costs applicable
A holding deposit will be due at initial stage of application in order to reserve the property, equivalent to one week’s rent. This is calculated as follows: (1 Month rent x 12 months ) / 52 weeks. This will be withheld if any relevant person (including guarantor(s)) withdraw from the application/tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and / or Deed of Guarantee) within 15 calendar days (or other Deadline for Agreement as mutually agreed in writing). Once your tenancy is confirmed and your AST is signed, this holding deposit will contribute towards the first month's rent which will be required prior to move in as well your security deposit.

Security Deposit (per tenancy. Rent under £50,000 per year) — Equivalent to five weeks’ rent
