During and after the tenancy, we offer additional services where fees may apply:

Extension fee

This is the cost of preparing a new Tenancy Agreement and negotiating with your landlord for a further fixed term tenancy. Extending your tenancy, if agreed by your landlord, gives an assurance of staying in the property for a further fixed period, and avoids the uncertainty of a landlord serving notice at any given time.

Amendments & Special Tenancy Conditions

This may be applicable if a change to the tenancy is required mid-term. This may be due to a change in personal circumstances and / or a request to leave the tenancy early is agreed prior to the end of the tenancy agreement (this is subject to Landlord consent).

Failed Direct Debits or Standing Order not set up

This fee is to cover the charges and administration cost when a standing order needs to be re-issued or a direct debit fails, the landlords rent cannot be processed and letters need to be sent. Standing orders are out of our control so it essential that you check with your bank well in advance of the rent due date that the standing order is in place and that funds are available to pay the rent. You must also cancel the standing order directly with your bank at the end of the tenancy after the final rent payment has been made as we are unable to do this.

Rent Arrears

The Landlord reserves the right to charge interest on any amounts of rent due and in arrears calculated on a day to day basis from the date that the same shall become due until payment in full is made and recover the interest as though it were rent.
Should rent not be received on the due date, an Administration Charge will be due for the first letter sent confirming non-receipt and for every subsequent 7 day period that rent remains unpaid. All legal costs will be charged to the Tenant.

Early Termination of Tenancy

If the tenant requests an early termination of the contract and the landlord agrees for the property to be remarketed in order to find suitable replacement tenants, then the tenant agrees to pay an early termination fee to cover remarketing costs. This is to be paid prior to the commencement of remarketing. In addition the tenant may be requested to pay the landlords’ administration fee at the discretion of the landlord and will also remain liable for the property and the rent until the commencement of the new contract with the replacement tenant.

End of Tenancy reference request

If you wish to leave the property you are renting and apply through a different agent they will want us to provide you with a written reference on how the tenancy was conducted. This fee is to produce and send this.
