Tenant Information

Registering:

You can register with us over the internet or telephone. Please provide us all of your contact details especially email address. We update our property list on a daily basis so you have a good knowledge of what is available from HACKETT ESTATE AGENTS.

Viewings:

The exclusive service that we offer at HACKETT ESTATE AGENTS means that we accommodate for the working Londoner. Although viewings are booked through our team in the daytime (9:30am – 6pm) our viewing times are very flexible. We can do evening viewings up to 7pm Monday – Friday and are open from 11am through to 2pm on Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays.

We feel that this way we can accommodate our clients in a better way instead of them taking time off work or rushing through their lunch hour to make an appointment that could be at the other side of London.

Holding Deposit:

Once you have selected a suitable property, we will require a holding deposit so that we can take the property off the market. This deposit is then deducted from the total amount of move in monies you will need to pay when moving into your new home.

References & Administration:

We require a full reference check of all prospective tenants. We have researched various companies and have found that the best service we have is at a reasonable cost of £40.00 for each tenant. An administration fee of £170.00 per property is also charged to cover costs of drawing up contracts. These costs are paid by the tenant.

Tenancy Agreement:

The tenancy agreement that you will sign is a legally bound document.

The length of our standard tenancy agreement is for a period of 12 months with a 6 month clause. This which means that after a period of 4 months the tenant or the landlord can give 2 months and leave on the 6th month. After the expiration of 4 months the notice period is 2 months at anytime. If you would like to continue the tenancy after the period of 12 months, HACKETT ESTATE AGENTS will send out a renewal agreement for a further period.

If you would like to negotiate shorter or longer contracts, please discuss this with a negotiator on your initial viewing. Before signing the agreement please read thoroughly and if you don’t understand anything please do ask.
