In addition to paying rent for the property, you may also be required to make the following permitted payments. Before the Tenancy starts: Holding Deposit: £150; and/or Deposit: £600.
During the Tenancy: Payments to other third parties: such as Council Tax, utilities or payments for communications services; Default Charges: such as payments for the replacement of lost keys and security devices, or interest on overdue rent; and Tenancy Transaction Charges: such as requests to vary or assign the Tenancy. All current charges are found within your Tenancy Agreement or on our website.
A Holding Deposit, of £150 is required upfront to take the property off the market. The Holding Deposit will be deducted from the total Deposit. If your application is rejected, or you withdraw or cannot complete your application within the specified 15-day timeframe between taking the property off the market (the day of payment of
the first Tenant’s Holding Deposit), you will not be eligible for a refund of any of the Holding Deposit paid. Please see Cancellation Policy for exceptions to this term. The Holding Deposit will be retained if the Tenant withdraws or, provides false or misleading information, fails Right to Rent checks, fails to take reasonable steps to enter the agreement within 15 days, or fails to respond or provide information required. The property will be remarketed for let to another Tenant. If the Landlord withdraws the property, your Holding Deposit will be refunded or an alternative property offered, if available. Please ensure you satisfy yourself that in applying for the property you will be in a position to sign the necessary Tenancy Agreement or make the agreed rent and Deposit payment within the agreed timeframe. If you are not, the Landlord reserves the right to let
to an alternative Applicant (no refund will be made in these circumstances). The Holding Deposit will be held in our Client Account and transferred as payment towards your total Deposit once your Application has been completed and the Tenancy Agreement is successfully signed.
Cancellation within a statutory or other cooling- off period allowed by HOP:
If a booking is cancelled within 15 days of reservation in line with terms a), b) or c), a full refund will be given.
If a booking is cancelled from signing Tenancy Agreement to 5 weeks prior to Tenancy start the Holding Deposit will be retained
If a booking is cancelled within 5 weeks of tenancy advance rent will be retained unless a suitable replacement Tenant is presented.
Tenant/s must inform HOP within 3 days and provide evidence.
Under UK Legislation there is a requirement to satisfy Right to Rent checks. Failure to provide satisfactory documentation to demonstrate the
right to rent in the UK will lead to cancellation of the application and forfeiture of all Deposits paid.
