Guide for Tenants Finding a property in
Mablethorpe, Sutton on Sea, Alford, Chapel St Leonards The first step is to
contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation
you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to
view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable
properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before
you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. Our
tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.
Although some
of our properties accept Housing Benefit Claimants, smokers, children and pets -
some don't, so before you arrange a viewing for a particular property, please
contact our office for the criteria.
Areas covered: We feel we can give a much better
service to our Landlords and Tenants by covering a small area
Viewings: Viewings will be arranged at times to suit
you, and you will be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give
advice and answer any questions you may have.
Finding and
Reserving the Property: Once you have decided on a property, you will
be required to complete an application form and pay a non refundable
administration fee (see below). Once an application has been received on a
property, will not be shown to other prospective tenants. Referencing checks
will then commence. If your application is successful you will be asked to pay a
holding deposit to secure the property. (the property can only be secured for a
maximum of 1 month) Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted
from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord withdraws the property
from the rental market, the holding deposit will be refunded. However a fee
equivalent to one month's rent will be charged if you decide not to proceed for
any reason, if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your
application, or you cannot move within the agreed time. Your must meet the
income criteria.
References: As a minimum we will
require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), and a previous
or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a
guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. We may use the
services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these
references.
Rents: Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and
payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council
Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by
bank standing order to our company bank
account.
Deposit/Bond: A security deposit of a minimum
of one month's rental must be paid, and will be dealt with in accordance with
the latest Government legislation. This is held to cover damage, breakages, and
any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note
that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover
rent.
Administration Fees: Unlike most Letting Agents,
we do not charge any prospective tenants for "going on our books". Should you be
successful in your search for a property, there will be an administration charge
made for costs in relation to the processing of your application for a Tenancy.
The fees are currently £80.
These fees are correct at this time and are
subject to change. Beamond Rentals reserve the right to amend fees as and when
necessary.

negotiations with insurance providers and will publish this information once
