Q.

How much deposit do you take?

A.

We take 5 weeks rent as deposit to be used against any damages/dilapidation at the end of a tenancy. This is the maximum that is allowed under the current laws. We also offer Zero Deposit options to tenants, who can purchase an insurance policy which saves them locking in a 5 week deposit for many years. This policy offers 6 weeks rent to be used in the event of any damages.  All tenants that take out this policy still have to pass our referencing and affordability checks as if they were paying a cash deposit.
