Yes It Is !  We register your deposit with a Government approved scheme.  This is a legal requirement.

 

Your deposit is held by the scheme administrators.

 

After you move in to the property we will provide you with information relating to which scheme your deposit is registered with.  At the end of the tenancy, if we make deductions from your deposit and you are not satisfied - you are able to dispute the deductions. That’s the whole point of the legislation - to ensure that Landlords and Letting Agents treat their Tenants fairly. We fully support it.

Is My Deposit Safe ?

Before you move in to the property we carry out a detailed video inventory. Every part of the property is captured on video and you are provided with a copy at the start of the tenancy.

 

We know it’s hardly a feature film but we do ask that you take some time to view the inventory in case we have missed something that is of concern to you. If we have then, often, we will re-visit the property and add it to the inventory for you.

 

At the end of the tenancy we use the original video inventory to compare the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy.

 

There are severe penalties for Landlords and agents who do not comply with the tenancy deposit legislation.  In many cases, Tenants are awarded three times the deposit amount for non-compliance.  If you are dealing with other letting agents, ensure they comply.  The legislation is for YOUR protection !
