We are registered with the Deposit Protection Service. Whether you select our Let Only or Managed Service, we will register and submit the deposit to the DPS to be held during the tenancy within their Custodial Scheme. We also issue the necessary documentation prior to tenancy start and the Prescribed Information Form once the deposit has been protected. This means that the deposit monies are not available to landlord, tenant or agent during the course of the tenancy. Once either we or you have completed the check out (depending on service selected), we can then arrange for return of the deposit, less any agreed deductions.

Please note that the DPS expect either us or you to have discussed the proposed deposit deductions with the tenant prior to using the online service with a view to reaching agreement before we do anything. Where this isn’t possible, the dispute is covered within the Managed Service but charged at a separate rate for the Let Only service based on time taken.

As part of the pre-tenancy checks conducted on tenants, we will pass referencing to a third party company called Homelet https://homelet.co.uk/ who offer both referencing and insurance products. They will complete a financial reference (confirming salary or other income), a previous or existing landlord reference and a credit check on each applicant for your property. Once the results of these checks are received, and subject to them being satisfactory, we are happy to offer our Managed landlords a service called Rent Recovery Plus. This service costs £22.50 per month (this is a fixed amount charged to us and back out to you at the same rate without incurring an additional fee but includes Insurance Premium Tax) and offers both rent payments and a full eviction service should your tenant(s) default on rent payments. More details about this will be provided in your market appraisal.

For Let Only landlords we use a reference called Optimum which doesn’t offer Rent guarantee but does provide eviction services should you have a problem with non-receipt of rent and you need to evict your tenant. You need to contact us about this as soon as you become concerned that rent hasn’t been received.

Whilst we don’t expect to experience these problems based on the tenancy set up procedures, its always good to know that you have back up if you need it in the future.

Please ensure that you have checked with the company who provide your buildings and contents insurance and let them know you are renting the property out. You may need to change to a landlords’ policy. A landlord’s policy is different because it usually allows for a longer vacancy period than standard insurance and includes third party liability cover. Please check for both when making your enquiries. If this isn’t offered by your current insurer we can put you in touch with Homelet who can.

We are an ARLA licensed firm.  This registration offers you peace of mind that you are dealing with a regulated firm following best practice procedures to ensure we offer, what we believe, is a fantastic service.
