Register with Abacus Letting

You can register with Abacus Letting via the telephone, through our website or by coming in to the premises. The more information we have about the kind of property you require, the better!

Searching & viewing

Once registration has been completed the search gets under way. Often, viewing can be arranged immediately. Viewing appointments are arranged to suit you. Our flexible working hours result in us being able to arrange appointments for you on evenings and Saturdays.

Property Selection

Once a property has been selected that meets your requirements, a holding deposit and  references will be required. Your application will then be forwarded to the Landlord for approval.

Tenancy Agreement

An offer of tenancy will be made once an application form has been completed, and satisfactory references have been received and approved by the Landlord. Once the Landlord has accepted your application, a Tenancy Agreement will be drawn up between yourselves and the Landlord. Abacus Letting deals with all the relevant paperwork.

Inventory

An Inventory of the property will be completed by a member of staff. The final Inventory list is submitted to both the tenant and landlord containing details of the contents of the property and its current condition.

Rent and Deposit

You will be required to pay a non-refundable holding deposit, equivalent to 6 weeks rent. This will prevent the continued marketing of the property for this period. An advance rental payment is also required prior to the start of the tenancy; equivalent to one month’s rent.

Subject to you meeting the terms under which the deposit was made, your deposit is returned within 30 days of you agreeing to end your tenancy. Please note that the deposit cannot be used for the final month’s rent.

The end

Completion - Letters are sent out to all parties involved and utilities are signed over to your name. Keys are handed over and you can move in.
