Landlords' Letting Procedure
FK Student Letting taxi
The student market is very seasonally biased. Most students begin their search for next year’s accommodation in Dec of the previous year. Invariably second and third year students are not eligible for ‘in house’ accommodation and they must find a suitable property immediately.
Once FK Student Letting has been instructed to let your property:
- The property is included in ‘The List’
- An EPC is commissioned
- Letting particulars are drawn up
- It is posted on our interactive website with photographs
- It is added to our company wide database
- Details are uploaded to appropriate portals such as Rightmove and Prime Location
Your property is not removed from our letting register until:
- Application forms have been received from all prospective tenants
- Our administrative fee is paid by all tenants
- £100 holding fee is paid by each prospective tenant
- A tenancy start date has been agreed with you
A 'parent pack' is then sent to all parents / guardians which includes a specimen tenancy agreement, copy of the initial account (including the deposit and the first month’s rent) and guarantor forms to complete.
Once all paperwork has been completed and returned to us, an appointment is made for the prospective tenants to sign the tenancy agreement in our office.
A further appointment is made approximately one month before the tenancy start date for the tenants to pay their first account and arrangements are made for them to collect keys on the due date.
