The new rules mean that agents need to carry out checks on all new adult tenants to make sure they have the right to rent property in this country.
Right to Rent, which also applies to people who are subletting their property or taking in lodgers, was introduced in the Immigration Act 2014. Landlords who fail to carry out checks, risk a potential penalty of up to £3,000 per tenant.

If you are an adult who intends to occupy one of our rental properties then each must complete the Right to Rent Form and give it to us when you come to our branch in person with the key identification documents listed on the form.

We are obliged to certify that the documents you show us are legitimate and the photographs depict you in person.

So you’ve found a property that you love and naturally you want to know how to get your hands on the keys.

​

The first thing you need to do is give Bubble & Hunter a call to register your interest. Our properties move fast so you don’t want to get your heart set on a new home only to find out it’s been let out that very morning. Give us a call and our friendly estate agency team will be only too happy to arrange a viewing.

​

Once you’ve had a look around the property and made up your mind you will need to pay part of the deposit (starting from £275) in order to secure the property while your application is being processed. In order to apply for the property you will need to fill out a tenancy application form and, if you’re a student or a first time tenant you’ll also need to provide a guarantor and so you’ll need to provide us with a completed guarantor application form. If you can’t get a guarantor then we would require six months rent in advance.

​

If your application is successful then you will be required to provide a deposit which is secured with the Deposit Protection Service and repayable when you move out of the property if everything is in order.

​

Finally we will draw up a tenancy agreement between you and your landlord. Once we’ve got the full deposit and a signed tenancy agreement, we can then arrange a moving in day.

​

If you have any questions about applying for one of Bubble and Hunter's properties to rent, please feel free to give us a call and one of our lettings agents will be happy to help.
