References & Application Procedure:
On finding a property, you will need to complete a tenant application so that we can obtain financial, personal, professional and / or rental history references.
Our application procedure is fast and relatively easy to complete. Simply fill in the application form and we take care of the rest.

If you are unable to obtain references, are a student or a first time tenant, don’t worry, there are other options available. You can either:
1. Provide the details of a guarantor (subject to passing reference checks)
2. You can pay the first 6 months rent in advance.
Tenancy Agreement:
After obtaining satisfactory references, we will invite you to sign the Tenancy Agreement for your chosen property. The Tenancy agreement is a legally binding document between you and the landlord. Our tenancies are Assured Shorthold Tenancies and unless otherwise stated, are for an initial period of 6 months.
Deposit & Rent:
Before you move into the property, we require one months rent in advance and a deposit the equivalent to 1 months rent plus £100 as a security deposit. In accordance with legislation your deposit will be held in a Tenancy Deposit scheme to ensure that it is protected. The scheme used by Walton and Allen is The Deposit Protection Service. The Terms and Conditions and ADR Rules governing the protection of the Deposit, can be found at
www.depositprotection.com
Rent will be due monthly by standing order, which we set up for you when you sign your Tenancy Agreement.
Before you move in:
From the initial confirmation of references the process normally takes 2-3 weeks. Just before you move in we compile a detailed inventory outlining the properties contents and state of repair prior to you moving in.
As standard, we also manage all aspects of transferring the utilities over to your name so that you don’t end up paying for someone elses bills!. Meter readings are taken on the day of hand over, transfer of names are organised and if applicable, standing orders set up.
Emergency Repairs & Maintenance Support:
When something goes wrong in your home, its good to know that there is someone there to put it right, fast! We have dedicated maintenance staff who can be relied upon to provide help as required.
Notice & leaving your property:
If you wish to leave the property at the end of the agreement, you must notify us in writing 1 MONTH before you wish to leave. Our address is:
Walton & Allen, 3 Fisher Gate Point, Fisher Gate, Nottingham, NG1 1GD
Under your tenancy agreement, you will be expected to leave the property as it was when you moved in. After an inventory check and property inspection, providing that all is satisfactory, your deposit will be returned to you within 10 days.
