Renting is now more affordable and with current housing market conditions, is the preferred method to accommodation living. Tenants enjoy the flexibility and access to the better quality property and the locations that it can offer.
Choosing the right letting agent is as important as your choice of home. Make the right choice and not only will you find searching and indeed finding the right property be made easier, but more so the ongoing support during your tenancy is invaluable.
Leapfrogs wealth of knowledge can be put to equally valuable use for the benefit of those seeking to rent as we provide a dedicated service for potential tenants, carefully consulting your needs to achieve an excellent match for the type of property you are seeking.
Our friendly team will provide you with helpful advice and guidance throughout the process of finding and securing your desired property.
What is the rental process?
Find a property that suits your requirements, arrange a viewing and request an application form to submit if you are interested. Our team will complete referencing checks (including AML, Sanctions and PEP checks) and once passed, you’ll receive confirmation by us followed by submission of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement (AST). You will then arrange your deposit and pay your first rental payment.
What reference will we ask for?
In all cases, we will ask for your address history to search via a credit reference agency. If you are renting, we will approach your current landlord or agent and obtain a written reference from your employer. If you are self-employed, we will ask for your accountant’s details and/or recent accounts. We have special provisions in place for overseas tenants. If you have any enquiries, please reach out to the team.
How much is a tenancy deposit?
A deposit is usually around five weeks’ rent. However, we do offer our No Deposit option, which allows you to rent a property without the large upfront cost. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us.
Who pays the council tax and bills?
All utility bills are your responsibility unless specified otherwise in the Tenancy Agreement. Upon moving in, you must set up your accounts with your chosen suppliers. You must also close those accounts at the end of your tenancy.
