2. Find suitable properties
Once you have registered you will be notified of any suitable properties currently available. You will also be informed of any new listings that meet your needs.
3. Viewings
When you have found a property that you would like to see, contact us to arrange a viewing.
4. Make an application
Once you have found the property for you, a ‘Rent Check’ form will need to be completed for each adult that intends to live in the property. Information required on this form includes current and previous addresses, employment details, character reference, bank details etc. For information on charge for this please contact us. The ‘Rent Check’ forms are then sent to an external party to verify. On receipt of satisfactory checks a move in date can then be established and at that point we would require the deposit to secure the property.
5. The lease
Once a move in date is set, we will draw up the lease agreement and arrange an appointment for you to come into the office to read and sign.
6. Admin fee, deposit & rent
An admin fee is charged for drawing up the leases. The first month’s rent and deposit (which is usually the equivalent of one month’s rent) will be required before the leases are signed. Rent is due on a monthly basis. All monies must be cleared funds before the keys are handed over. The deposit will be reimbursed at the end of the tenancy subject to a satisfactory check out report by ourselves if the property is fully managed, or by the landlord if they manage the property.
7. Moving in
If the property is managed by Harmony Homes we will compile an inventory and take meter readings at the property before you move in. You will receive a copy of the inventory and will be asked to check this and return a signed copy to us.
If the property is unmanaged we will provide you with the landlords details. We would recommend you take photos and meter readings of the property on your move in day.
