At Express Let we will try our best to find you a home that suits your needs.

We are here to help you move into your new home as smoothly as possible.

Step 1

Find a property you wish to rent.

Step 2

You will need to complete an application form to register your interest.

This application will enable us to obtain the following on your behalf

   1.  Bank Reference

   2.  Employers Reference (accountant reference for self employed)

   3.  Personal Reference

   4.  Credit check

A payment to indicate your commitment is required on submission of your application form. This fee is £85 for a single applicant, £115 for two applicants. It covers our administration and legal costs when processing the application. It is non refundable should references prove unsatisfactory or you decide to withdraw.

Step 3

Before the lease begins we will send you a draft tenancy agreement for your perusal. The cost of the lease is free of charge. If the lease is to be extended after the initial period a charge of £35 is made for the appropriate documentation.

Step 4

A deposit equivalent to one months rent is payable upon commencement of the lease and is forwarded to the Tenant Deposit Protection Scheme. For more details of this scheme go to www.depositprotection.com

We require a deposit for every tenancy. This is refundable only after you have vacated the property provided that:

   1.  Your rent is paid up to date

   2.  All your utility bills relating to the tenancy have been paid

   3.  The property has been well maintained

   4.  All items listed on the inventory are all present and in good condition

The landlord must be satisfied with the property before the deposit is refunded. As long as the points above are satisfactory the deposit will normally be refunded within 21 days by the Tenant Deposit Protection Scheme, direct to your bank account.
