Guide for Tenants

The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If your needs are not urgent, we log your details and will contact you later if suitable properties become available. We advise that you start your property search about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot always assist dss claimants. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.

Other Areas
If you are looking for a property to rent outside Manchester and Wigan, please go to our UK Network page.

Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.

Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a fee (And sometimes a Deposit) for referencing and credit checks. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy,a portion of this fee will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.

References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.

Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month's rental must be paid, and will be held by ourselves as stakeholders in a secure client account throughout the tenancy term. This is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.

Fees
We do not make a charge to register your requirements or find you a suitable home but a fee may be payable to cover independent referencing and administration costs.
