Finding a property East Hertfordshire The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot 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 East Hertfordshire, please go to our UK Network page. Viewings Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably 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 'holding deposit', usually equivalent to one week's rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it 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 usually 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 There is a charge of £55.00 per applicant for referencing and credit checks. There are no administration charges for the preparation of the tenancy agreement and any legal notices, and check-in and check-out. Where an Independent Inventory Agent has to used, there may also be a fee from the Inventory agent for the check-in. |
| About Eastern Hertfordshire | |
| Hertfordshire lies just (nine miles) North of London and was first created in Saxon times. There are old towns such as St Albans and Hertford; and a number of post war New Towns including Stevenage and Welwyn Garden City. There are also a wealth of picturesque villages and sleepy hamlets nestling in the green countryside. Since the turn of the century the population has increased four-fold, making it the sixth most populous in the UK. Some of the reasons for this growth are its proximity to London, excellent transport links and modern industries. | |
| Eastern Hertfordshire is fast 'arriving' as a very desirable area in which to live. Situated in close proximity to London with excellent road and rail links into Central London (e.g. Welwyn North into Kings Cross in 30 minutes) Two major motorways, the A1(M) and A10, lie on either side creating excellent road links to London and the North. It is also in easy range of Stanstead and Luton airports. |
