Say Hello: [email protected]01962 842155
If you haven’t seen anything on our website or the property portals that appeals, just give us a call because it may be that we know the property that matches your requirements is just around the corner. At Purdie & Swan, our prospective tenants only get calls about properties that fit their requirements!
Once you have found a property you love, it is time to take the leap of faith and make an offer. It is worth noting that at this stage you would likely want to agree the term of the rental as well as a start date. If your offer is successful, a holding deposit (equivalent to 1 weeks rent which will go towards your 5 weeks deposit) will be taken to secure the property. The property will then be taken off the market subject to contract and references.
On the start date of your tenancy, we will ask you to visit the office to collect the following – a copy of inventory check in report to read, sign and return, a copy of the gas safety certificate, a copy of the energy performance certificate, proof of registration with the Deposit Protection Service and the contact details of who to contact with any queries during your tenancy. Some properties we manage ourselves, and sometimes the landlord likes to do it. Finally, and most excitingly we suspect… we can give you the keys!
Call to arrange a viewing at the property. Floorplans and photos are fantastic, but nothing makes up for getting the other side of the front door. We accompany all viewings and have a good knowledge of every property ( this is often commented on!) and compared to many agents give you the time you require to make this important decision.
Often referred to as the monotonous part, let the paperwork commence. We try and make this as pain free as possible. In brief, we apply for references on your behalf and do a credit check. We need to confirm ID in the form of both photo ID and a utility bill. The tenancy agreement is then drafted for all to sign. Once all of the above is completed, you will be required to pay the deposit (equivalent to 5 weeks rent) and first months’ rental (minus your reservation fee) in cleared funds prior to the commencement of the tenancy.
We will always let you know in writing nearer the time what is required of you prior to vacating the property. In brief when your original tenancy agreement comes to an end, it is either a case of negotiating the renewal or serving notice in writing on your agreement and then booking the cleaners to leave it as sparkling as you found it.
