Once we have found your new home, you will be forwarded a reference application form to complete. We will then apply for suitable references and draft the necessary tenancy agreement.

You will receive copies of the agreement and inventory which are designed to protect both, you and the landlord.

You will also receive up to date copies of the gas safety certificate, electrical report/certificate, EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), How to Rent guide from the government and TDS Leaflet
