Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay to reserve a home?
Yes. A holding deposit must be paid in order to reserve a home. The amount due is dependent on the home you reserve and will be deducted from your first months' rent. This holding deposit will only be refunded in line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019. Please contact the Resident Services Team for more information.
Is there an initial deposit?
We ask for a dilapidation deposit of one month's rent when you move in (The dilapidation deposit is refunded on condition of the property being returned in a good condition at the end of you tenancy).
What we're doing about COVID-19
Fostering a safe and happy community is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we’ve put the health and wellbeing of our residents, staff and visitors at the forefront of our response to the current coronavirus situation. Following the advice of health authorities and government, we have reopened our buildings for viewings and lettings but have put measures in place to protect everyone, which include:
- Virtual viewings in the first instance
- Protective screens at the reception desks
- Social distancing signage
- A limit of one household at a time using a lift
- Hand sanitiser in multiple locations
- Our on-site team will also be wearing masks and gloves where required when dealing with contractors and the general public.
We will continue to adapt our service to meet government guidelines. Thank you to everyone who has taken care to follow the measures we’ve put in place so far. Please continue to observe the new signs and instructions so that we can continue to reduce the spread of coronavirus and keep our community as safe as possible.
