A holding fee of £200.00 per flat/studio, £250.00 per house and £500.00 per executive property is required in order that the property is taken off our books and not offered to any other prospective Tenants. If you fail to occupy the property through no fault of you own then the holding fee is completely refundable, but will be retained by the Landlord or his agents against loss of rent in the event that you decide not to proceed.

There is an administration fee of £60.00 per person which is non-refundable as this is taken to cover the cost of applying for references.
