How do I arrange a viewing?

Robertson Property Management has an extensive portfolio of properties and to arrange a viewing all you need to do is either call or email us and we will be delighted to arrange a viewing at a convenient time. Unless advised otherwise, viewings will be accompanied by a member of staff. Our offices are open Monday-Friday 9.00am – 5.00pm.

How do I apply for a tenancy?

Once you have viewed your chosen property and have decided you would like to be considered for the tenancy, you will be required to complete a Robertson Property Management application form (downloadable from our website). You will then be required to provide both character and financial references. Character references can be selected from the following list (we require 2 per applicant): Current landlord, employer, course tutor, GP, friend (someone who has known you personally over 2 years). Financial references (again 2 per applicant): Current Bank Statements (for 3 months), current payslips (3 if paid monthly, 6 if paid weekly), guarantor form. It is RPM’s policy to request that a tenancy is guaranteed if the applicants are students and/or under 23 years of age. We also require to copies of photographic ID and a note of your national insurance number.

In order to secure the tenancy, a deposit is required prior to moving in. The deposit is held in a tenants’ deposit account and is only used if you have failed to meet your obligations of the tenancy agreement i.e. property needs cleaning, repairs are required (excluding general wear and tear), unpaid rent and bills etc. as outlined in the lease agreement.

What happens next?

Once we have received your paperwork (including references), we will process your application and advise you if you have been successful.

At this time all paperwork will be prepared including AT5 (Notification that a Short Assured Tenancy is being offered), Tenancy Agreement and Agreement for Retention and possible use of keys and you will be asked to attend the office to sign these documents.

On the day your tenancy commences, you will be required to pay your first month’s rent (if not done so by standing order), collect your keys and inventory at our office. Please note you have 7 days from receipt of the inventory to note and inform our office any discrepancies.
