A pre-application process is carried out on all applicants expressing an interest in the property prior to viewing. There is no charge for this. It is carried out to provide information to the Landlord of potential tenants. For the successful applicant a holding deposit will be required which is the equivalent to one weeks rent. This will be deducted from the first month’s rental payment. If the application is unsuccessful due to the potential tenant providing inaccurate information for example, not declaring adverse credit history, Follwells are within their right to withhold the holding deposit to cover any costs incurred for the referencing. Please note all tenants over the age of 18 are required to be referenced. A security deposit is payable prior to the tenancy commencing, equivalent to five weeks rent. This will be held by the tenancy deposit scheme.
