The team at Options Property Management are trained to assist you, the tenant in finding the appropriate property to fit your requirements.
We maintain a computerised database of all the properties we have available or about to become available. We will always endeavour to contact prospective tenants on our database whose requirements match the available property before marketing or advertising the property. Call us, or complete the form on properties page to ensure we can match your requirements. We use this information to ensure we do not waste each others time if your particulars do not fall into the landlords or properties criteria.
Viewings
Having identified a property that matches your criteria, Options Property Management will arrange for you to view the property. This will be at a time convenient to you and possibly the current tenant or owner if the property is still occupied. We normally arrange viewings Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm. If necessary we will occasionally arrange evening or weekend viewings. Viewings will always be accompanied by one of our representatives, who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. We find it is best to start looking for suitable properties about a month before you require tenancy. If you are currently renting you will probably be required to give one months notice from your tenancy rent date. We do not normally accept DSS on any of our properties. Our tenancies are normally an Assured Shorthold Tenancy for a period of six months. In most cases this can be renewed so long as your payment record and tenancy has been carried out in accordance with your agreement.
Reserving Your Property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying our administration fee. Our initial enquiry form would normally have highlighted any issues that may have affected you successfully going through our final referencing procedure, so by the time we take your administration fee we are usually confident that you will go through the reference checks. This fee covers the referencing procedure and all our administration involved in setting up your tenancy agreement. If your tenancy is not expected to begin for a period in excess of two weeks we will also ask you for advance rent. The fee for our administration is £85.00 (inclusive of VAT) for a single person. A fee of £40.00 (inclusive of VAT) for each additional person or guarantor that may be required.
