YOUR PART SECURITY HOLDING DEPOSIT EXPLAINED

Once your application has been accepted by the Landlord, you will be required to pay a part security holding deposit, equivalent to one week’s rent to reserve the property you are interested in. 

This section explains how your holding deposit will be handled, including the circumstances under which it will or will not be refunded. It is important that you understand your legal rights, and you should feel free to seek independent legal advice before signing this or any other documents we provide.

Upon receiving your holding deposit, current legislation stipulates that all necessary paperwork should be completed within 15 days, unless a longer period is agreed.

Please note that references (e.g. Employer, previous Landlord) must be received by us within 15 days of our request; we therefore recommend you inform your referees to respond promptly to enquiries made. Any delay may result in the property being put back on the market and the holding deposit being forfeited.

If, before the agreement date deadline, you choose not to proceed with the tenancy, your holding deposit will be retained by our firm. Similarly, if you unreasonably delay your responses to any reasonable requests, provide false or misleading information in your application, or fail the required checks under the Immigration Act 2014, your holding deposit will not be refunded and will be retained by this firm. It may be possible to extend the deadline for agreement date beyond the 15-day deadline; such requests must be submitted in writing or by email and acknowledged by F.S.S. within 24 hours.

However, if the Landlord decides not to proceed with your tenancy application for reasons unrelated to the above, your holding deposit will be refunded in full within 7 days.

If your application is successful and you accept the tenancy, your holding deposit will be credited toward your first rent payment as outlined in your tenancy agreement.

In cases where your holding deposit is not refunded or applied to the rent, we will provide a written explanation within 7 days.

There are no application fees or charges associated with applying for a tenancy. However, should your application be successful and you enter into a tenancy under our standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement, certain charges may apply for breaches of the agreement, in accordance with the Tenant Fees Act 2019. A copy of our standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement is available upon request.
