Tenants rights and safety - our duty of care


Accompanied Viewings

We interview all our applicants to understand your search criteria and meet you at the properties to gain feedback on what features best meet your needs. Our staff will discuss with you what items will remain in the property and what your responsibilities are. (e.g. who looks after the garden, parking arrangements, insurance cover etc.)

Assistance with Forms and Documents

Our documentation will be carefully explained to ensure you fully understand the legal implications before signing a tenancy agreement and committing to a tenancy. The initial money required (which must be a cash equivalent) will be detailed and a time and date arranged for you to pay.

It is important that you attend the inventory check-in so that you can agree to any amendments and we recommend that you keep the document in a safe place as it forms the basis of any claims for damages at the end of the tenancy.

Safety Regulations

We ensure that all gas appliances are safety checked annually and you will be given a current certificate at the start of a tenancy. The electrical equipment must also be safe and we strongly recommend to our clients that the appliances are periodically checked by a qualified electrician. The furniture and furnishings must always comply with the safety regulations.
