When renting a property through Finlay Brewer Estate Agents, the following is required from all tenants:

– Deposit: as above.

 

– One month’s rent in advance: The rent is worked out per calendar month (pcm), not x 4 weeks. Take your weekly rent, multiply by 52 (weeks) and divide by 12 (months). The rent payment must be paid in clear funds (CASH OR ONLINE TRANSFER) before the tenancy commences. Please note that a cheque or company cheque is not acceptable.

– Referee details: You will be required to supply names & addresses of previous landlord and employer. You will also need to supply full bank details.

– Proof of address: You will need to provide us with a utility bill or bank statement addressed to you at your current address between 3 and 6 months ago. This is required for the credit search.

– Photo ID: UK and EU nationals will need to provide photo ID.

– Passport: Overseas applicants will need to bring your passport, clearly showing UK right of residence, into the office for identification purposes. We would like as much time as possible to carry out references and draw up the agreement – ideally between 3 to 5 working days. 

A tenancy agreement is a legally binding document between you and the landlord, applicable only to you and the property you are renting. This states the amount of rent, the length of the tenancy, your rights and responsibilities. The length will usually be agreed between both parties as part of your offer. The tenants are responsible for all utility bills, which can include, but not limited to, gas, electricity, water, council tax etc. It is suggested that tenants should insure their own possessions with contents insurance. The landlord is responsible for inventories drawn up at the start of your tenancy and at the end of your tenancy.

We wish you the best of luck in your search and if you have any further questions, please contact our lettings department on 020 7371 4071 or lettingsteam@finlaybrewer.co.uk.
