Rent a Property with Monks Some may say that renting a home is stressful. But we don’t agree. As a leading estate and letting agents in Shrewsbury, we make the experience much easier by helping you through every stage of the renting process. Here are some tips to start you off – and we’re always on the end of the phone or email if you have any questions. • Before you start viewing any properties, find out how much your monthly outgoings are likely to be – which can include monthly rent, utility bills, council tax etc. • When you know your affordability, we set up viewings of properties you are interested in. • Once you’ve found a property you want to call home, we will work with you and the Landlord in processing the initial application. • You will need to complete an application form, which will require details of your annual income and outgoings. • You will need to provide contact details for references. • Credit searches will be carried out to ascertain your eligibility for the property. • Once your application has been accepted we will work with you to arrange a mutually convenient moving in date and at that point a holding deposit will be paid – (equivalent of one week’s rent). • An assured Shorthold Tenancy will be drawn up, along with a full inventory and schedule of condition of the property. • On moving in day the balance of the deposit – equivalent of one month’s rent will be paid – this is then protected within the Deposit Protection Scheme.
