Tenant Fees

Fees and Charges:

(Applies to Assured Periodic Tenancies (APTs) in England from 1 May 2026, in line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019 and Renters’ Rights Act 2025)

BEFORE YOU MOVE IN:

• Holding Deposit Fee: Equal to one week’s rent. This is payable once your offer on a property has been accepted and will be offset against the first month’s rent or tenancy deposit, as agreed. Please note that the holding deposit may be retained if you withdraw your offer, provide false or misleading information, fail a Right to Rent check, or do not take all reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy within the agreed timeframe.
• First Month’s Rent: Due after signing the tenancy agreement, less any holding deposit paid
• Security Deposit: Equivalent to 5 weeks’ rent (where annual rent is under £50,000). This will be protected in a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme.

DURING YOUR TENANCY:

• Changes or Amendments to the Tenancy Agreement (requested by the tenant): £50
• Late Rent Payments: Charged once rent is 14 days overdue, at a rate of 3% above the Bank of England base rate, calculated from the date the rent became overdue
• Lost Keys or Security Devices: Charged at the reasonable cost of replacement.
• Early Termination (Tenant’s Request): If you wish to end the tenancy early or do not provide the required notice, you will be liable for the landlord’s reasonable costs. This may include rent due for the remainder of the notice period (typically two months), or until a new tenancy is secured.
