Once you have found that perfect home, all you need to do is let us know, (this part needs to be done fairly quickly before someone else snaps it up)  and we can begin the process of application.

Now you have decided to go ahead, there are a few things that we need you to do to start the checks.

As well as completing an application form,  you will need to provide us with a few things - photographic identification, proof of address, etc, proof of income, etc, you will be made aware of everything that we require, and this can all be completed online.

At this stage we ask that you pay a holding deposit to secure the property for you whilst we complete references and credit checks.

This part of the application can be the longest, but are team are always quick to chase up and get references in so that you can progress with your tenancy.

Once the references and credit checks are completed, and the landlord is happy for us to progress, we ask that you pay deposit to secure your home, which is usually one months rent.

Once the tenancy agreement is signed and the first months rent is paid, this will then be placed into a Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme.

Your deposit will be held with My Deposits, a Government backed Tenancy Deposit Scheme where your money will be kept for the duration of your tenancy and will come back to you at the end of your tenancy should everything be satisfactory upon you leaving.

Once completed you will receive a copy of your deposit certificate.

Your Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding contractual Agreement between yourself, the Landlord and the Agent.

The tenancy agreement clearly sets out the terms and conditions and the obligations of all parties during the period of the tenancy.

Most tenancies will be of a standard Assured Shorthold format and will run for a minimum period of 12 months and either goes to a rolling 12 months thereafter, or on a month to month basis as may be agreed between the parties.

Prior to your occupation of the property, a Photographic Inventory Report will be completed, this is a document that shows in detail the condition of the property and what items the property may have within it when you are you moving in.

You will receive a copies of this at the commencement of the tenancy and it is imperative that you check its accuracy, sign and return to Somerset Lettings within 7 days of the first day of your move in, so that any discrepancies can be reported immediately.

This will form the basis of resolving any dispute relating to damage to the property or contents at the end of the tenancy.

Once you have paid your first months rent and a date is agreed, we will arrange with you the key collection and give you your welcome pack which includes all information relating to your new tenancy, utilities etc.

So all you have to do now is enjoy moving in and making your new home a home.

Throughout your tenancy, we are always on hand to answer any queries or questions that you may have.

During your tenancy we will require access with you to come and check that everything is in order and the property is being well looked after and that there is no damage to the interior, exterior or mould, but this will be arrange wil you to suit a time and date for  you in advance.

We will also be on hand to deal with any repairs or issues within the property promptly and have a great team of contractors on hand to deal with any leaks or repairs as you require.
