Finding a property to rent can be a stressful business. At Emmerson & Co we can help you reduce this stress with our friendly and personal approach to understanding your property needs.

When we receive your first call to our office, we will ask you some questions about your rental requirements and will deal with your enquiry speedily and efficiently. Our experienced staff will match your needs from a variety of properties on our database and arrange for you to view anything suitable. Throughout your property search, we will keep in regular telephone contact with you to ensure we provide you with the best possible service.

Once you find a property you wish to rent:

•You will be asked for Reference details (usually Bank, Employer, previous Landlord and/or Character).

•A fee of £120.00 inclusive of VAT will be charged to cover the cost of administration and the preparation of the Agreement. Referencing will be charged at £20.00 including VAT, per person. In cases where a Guarantor is required, a charge of £20.00 including VAT will be charged. Should the tenancy not proceed due to the tenant(s) withdrawing, any refund of this fee will be at the discretion of the Company.

• A Holding Deposit of £200 will be required to hold the property subject to contract and satisfactory references. This does not oblige the Landlord to let the property and is a token of good faith. If the tenant(s) withdraws, this money should be considered non-refundable. Should the tenancy proceed, this Holding Deposit will become part of the first month’s rent.

•We will send you written confirmation of your proposed Rental.

•When all formalities are satisfactorily completed, you will sign a Tenancy Agreement and will pay the first month's rent, minus the holding deposit already paid, plus a Security Deposit (this is usually equivalent to one month's rent).

•All arrangements regarding your check-in to the rental property will be made by us.

•You will be able to contact us regarding any queries that may arise during your rental.

•When the time comes for you to move on, we will arrange to have you checked out of the property and will process the appropriate refund of your deposit.

•If required, we will also be happy to find another property for you to rent.
