Viewings of the Property

We will schedule a viewing of your desired property where one of our office representatives will show you around the property. The viewing will be confirmed by e-mail or text message, providing you with the full property address, date and time of the appointment, name and contact of the office representative.

Reserving your property (Holding Deposit)

A holding deposit is a sum of money paid to a landlord or letting agent to reserve a rental property before the signing of a tenancy agreement.

The value of the holding deposit will equate to 1 weeks rent or less.

Until such time that a holding deposit is received the property will remain available on the market and may be reserved by another applicant. Swift action is highly recommended to secure the property you want.

Referencing will only commence once a holding deposit is received.

For further details, please refer to our HOLDING DEPOSIT TERMS & CONDITIONS.

Referencing and Tenancy Application Form
