NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE TENANTS - CONFIRMATION OF FEES (ENGLAND)
 

If you wish to view a property you will be required to complete as Pre-application form.

Should you wish to apply to rent a property available through McCartneys LLP before your application can be processed you will need to pay us a Holding Deposit equivalent to one weeks rent for the property you are interested in.

Example – Monthly Rent £500 – Holding Deposit = £500 x 12 ÷ 52 = £115.38

Once we receive your holding deposit, current legislation stipulates that the necessary paperwork should be completed within 15 days or a longer period to be agreed.

If at any time during this period you decide not to proceed with your tenancy then your holding deposit will be retained by McCartneys LLP. Also if you unreasonably delay in responding to any reasonable request made by McCartneys LLP or you have provided us with false or misleading information as part of your pre application or tenancy application, or if you fail any of the checks which we are required to undertake under the Immigration Act 2014 then your holding deposit will not be returned.

Each prospective tenant will be required to complete an Application form which will then be passed to Rent4Sure Referencing Service. This reference will check your credit history, confirm details of your income and where applicable obtain references from your current landlord. Please note that submitting an application does not automatically mean you will be accepted for the property, the status report will be passed to the landlord for a final decision. 

If the Landlord decides not to offer you a tenancy for reasons unconnected with the above then your Holding Deposit will be returned within 7 days. Should you be offered and you accept a tenancy with our Landlord then your Holding Deposit will be credited to the first month’s rent due under that tenancy.

If your application is successful then a Deposit equivalent to five weeks rent will be payable to be held by the Deposit Protection Service together with the first month's rent in advance. These will need to be cleared funds on or before the commencement of the tenancy.  Please note that all Assured Shorthold Tenancies are for a minimum period of six months.

If you are considering sharing a property please note that all parties named on the Tenancy Agreement are jointly and severally liable to comply with the stated terms within the agreement.
