We can establish your budget and preferred area and then match you with a suitable property. This service is free to tenants. You will have to have a previous landlord's reference and the deposit ready. Many of our properties are also available to non-working tenants who will have part of their rent paid by Housing Benefit. We will help with your benefit claim to ensure that it is paid as quickly as possible and that you are paid what you are due. For any more help or advice - JUST CALL US NOW!

YOU HAVE SEEN THE PROPERTY YOU WANT? WHAT NEXT? If you wish to take a tenancy the following tells you what to do now: 1. You will need a deposit - this will be returned to you at the end of your tenancy provided that everything is in order. The deposit is normally one month's rent. 2. Two references are required. One should be from a previous landlord, and the other from someone (such as an employer or family lawyer) who has known you for some time. 3. If you intend to claim housing benefit for part of the rent, a Pre-Tenancy Determination should be arranged. Quite simply, this means that you can find out how much benefit will be paid before you commit yourself. Your Housing Benefit office will supply a PTD form which you should complete and then send to HomeLets for signing. The Rent Registration Service will tell us within a week just how much benefit is expected to be paid. 4. A lease will be completed prior to your moving-in date. This is a short assured tenancy and provides both you and the owner of the property with specific rights. 5. A bank standing order form will be completed for payment of rent. If you receive housing benefit then the payment should be paid directly to HomeLets. If there is a shortfall then you will pay that difference by standing order each month.
