Guide for Tenants

Finding a property
YOUR AREA
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself
and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database
for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your
details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become
available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you
wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly.

 

 

Viewingsage.

Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you,
and you will invariably be accompanied by a member
of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.

 

References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer
(or college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require
a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit
check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent
referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.

Rents

Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly
in advance. The tenant is  also responsible for Council Tax,
Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are
payable by bank standing order to our company bank account.

Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month’s rental must be paid,
and will be held by ourselves as stakeholders in a secure client
account throughout the tenancy term. This is held to cover damage,
breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy
agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit
be used by the tenant to cover rent.

There is a 4 screen cinema, swimming pool, tennis courts, local amateur drama and operatic societies, to name but a few. The Scottish Borders is the centre of rugby and Galashiels is the home of the ‘Borders’ Professional Rugby Club. There is also the attractive 90 mile Tweed cycle Way and access to the Southern Upland Way for those who prefer a more active lifestyle.
