Leonards Chartered Surveyors, Land & Estate Agents

Lettings

Procedure Following Acceptance of Applications:

Acceptance by Leonards of an application for a particular property does not imply or give any warranty that your application will be successful. You are strongly advised not to make any arrangements regarding the tenancy until:

  • Suitable replies to our enquiries with regard to your references have been received. Consequently you may be requested at the discretion of the Landlord or Leonards to provide a Guarantor for the rent
  • You have received written confirmation from Leonards that the proposed letting of a particular property has been accepted.
  • You have sufficient funds to pay one months rent in advance and the security deposit/bond against wilful damage to the property (which is normally a minimum of one months rent) This security deposit/bond is returnable at the end of the tenancy following a satisfactory inspection of the property by the owners or ourselves as managing agents. Payment of this sum, in addition to the months advance rental, will need to be made upon completion of the tenancy agreement, either in cash or a bankers draft, made out to Leonards Client Account.
  • Whilst payment by cheque is acceptable, funds must be cleared through out client account before the tenancy commences and you can move into the property. We recommend you allow at least 8 working days or alternatively make arrangements as stated above.
  • All future rental payments are per calendar month in advance (unless otherwise confirmed in writing) and will normally be due on the first of each calendar month. This may involve an initial payment in excess of this amount and will be confirmed with you prior to signing the tenancy agreement. The preferred method of payment would be by standing order from your bank and a bank mandate will be offered to you for completion upon signing the tenancy. Your tenancy may be at risk if for any reason payments are not received on or before the date the rental falls due.
