We visit the property and take a comprehensive
Inventory of all the fixtures, fittings and goods. We will also
take photographs at the request of the Landlord. We will note the
decorating condition and any damage evident, and send copies of
the Inventory to the Landlord and Tenant, requesting signatures
to establish
agreement with our findings, arrange any necessary work, if requested,
to enable the relevant safety certificates to be obtained (please
note that obtaining relevant safety certificates on your behalf
carries an additional cost and any work carried out by a qualified
professional in this respect is at the expense of the Landlord).
prepare the Tenancy Agreement. We use Assured Short hold Tenancy
Agreements, which are usually fixed for the first 6 months, unless
either the Landlord or the Tenant specifically requests a break
claus.
Arrange a suitable date for the Tenant to sign the Agreement, collect
the 1st months rent and secure a deposit (usually referred to as
a Bond) against possible dilapidations to
the property. The Bond is usually equal to one and a half's month’s rent
and is refunded to the Tenant after the determination
of the Agreement, provided both the Agent and Landlord are satisfied
that the property is in the same condition as it was when the tenancy
commenced, take meter readings, where the meters are accessible,
and contact the relevant utility companies to change over the billing
details. inform the Local Authority with respect to Council Tax
