If you have not registered with Tattersalls please ask for a
registration form. Once completed you will remain on our
mailing list for three months unless you instruct us
otherwise.
Having viewed a property you should contact our office by
12.00 the next working day to register an interest. Your
name will then be put forward to the landlord, possibly with
others and Tattersalls will endeavour to get back as soon as
possible with the landlords decision.
When a property is offered to you subject to references and
contract, each individual aged 18 or over will be required
to complete a Home Let reference application form. There is
a fee of £40.00 inc VAT payable for each applicant. You will
also be asked to pay £100.00 as a holding fee. Providing
that you do not back out the holding fee will go towards
your first months rent. Until we are in receipt of these
monies and a properly completed referencing form along with
proof of identification the property will remain on the
market and available To Let
You will also need to prove your identity. Please see
separate notes on how to do this.
A deposit equivalent to one month’s rental along with the
first months rent (less the previously paid £100.00) is
payable prior to signing the tenancy agreements. This will
be registered and insured with ‘Tenancy Deposit Solutions
Limited’ (TDS) in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the TDS. The Terms and Conditions regarding the
protection of the deposit including the repayment process
can be found at www.mydeposits.co.uk . Both the deposit and
the first months rent must be cleared funds prior to signing
the agreements.
All rent is due on the first of each month and is payable
monthly in advance, by standing order. If you move in part
the way through a month then your first months rent will
cover the initial period with the shortfall being due at the
end to take the rent up to the 1st of the next month. The
landlord reserves the right to review the rent at their
discretion subject to one months notice being given in
writing. The rent can be reviewed at any stage after the
first year, subject to one months notice in writing. All
rent increases will take effect on the 1st of each month.
You will be required to complete a standing order form.
A six-month assured shorthold tenancy must be signed. You
will be agreeing to rent the property for six months. At
least one months notice must be given to vacate the
premises, even when the initial period reaches its
conclusion. If longer notice can be given it would be
appreciated. Unless you are otherwise notified a periodic
assured shorthold tenancy will automatically arise at the
conclusion of the initial period of tenancy. You will be
required to complete a standing order form for the rent.
Tenants should note that their own possessions are not
covered under the landlord’s insurance policy. Tenants
should advise their own insurance company that they are in
rented accommodation, and extend their policy to cover
themselves for all tenants liabilities.
The rent quoted does not include electricity, gas, water
rates or council tax. Tenants are responsible for all of
these accounts. Tattersalls will place these accounts into
the tenant’s names on occupation. Tattersalls can not deal
with the telephone.
If two or more persons are together, their obligations to
the landlord shall be joint and several.
Tenant(s) signing and named on the agreement must be over
the age of eighteen. All persons who will be residing at the
property over the age of eighteen will have to sign the
tenancy agreement.
Permission must be obtained in writing from Tattersalls
before any pets are kept. Permission must also be obtained
in writing before any decorating is carried out
If pets are kept in the property even with the landlord’s
consent, the carpets must be cleaned, deodorised and treated
for fleas by a professional company at the end of the
tenancy and a written receipt must be provided to
Tattersalls to this effect. This can cost between £100.00
and £150.00. There must be no evidence of pets or smoking
(including smells) when the property is vacated.

make these payments directly to Tattersalls. If at any stage
you start to claim housing benefit during the tenancy you
must inform your landlord as this may affect the Landlords
insurance policy.
