Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to move in?
You need to allow time for referencing, and it always helps to let your employer and current landlord know there's a request on the way. 1 to 2 weeks after your viewing is usually realistic, although it can be quicker if absolutely essential.
What referencing checks do you carry out?
We use a small, specialised referencing agency who will check your identity and credit history. They will also contact your employer and current landlord.
Will I need to provide a guarantor?
In some circumstances we may need a guarantor. This is someone living in the UK who will sign to guarantee your rent payments if you fail to pay. Any guarantor will need to pass a credit check.
How long will my contract be for?
Our standard contract is for a fixed term of 6 months. At the end of this period your contract will automatically roll onto a monthly periodic tenancy unless either party has given notice.
How much notice do I have to give to move out?
Once your 6 month fixed term is completed you can move out at any time by giving one month's notice.
How much will it cost me to move in?
Your moving in cost will be equal to 2 months rent.
When will my monthly rent be due?
We usually collect rent on the monthly anniversary of your moving in date. So, if you moved in on the 19th June, your next rent would be due on the 19th July and then the 19th of each subsequent month.
Can I bring my own furniture?
You can bring furniture in addition to what we provide so long as any furnishings comply with fire safety legislation and have a fire safety label. Many housemates bring additional storage or a desk to work from home.
