Costs to tenants
Depending on your circumstances and the specific property you select, the following Tenant fees and charges may apply.
Reservation fee – equivalent to one week minimum of £200 taken on engaging an offer |
On placing an offer for a property a reservation fee will be taken equivalent to one week’s rent for the property, with a minimum of £200. This money is to be held by Allan Fuller Estate Agents subject to references and contract and is a sign of good faith in respect of your application to rent the proposed property. If your references are successfully concluded it will form part of your initial rent payment when you sign the Tenancy Agreement before moving into the property. Should you withdraw your application for any reason we reserve the right to retain this fee. |
Credit Cards |
We do not accept credit card payments. |
Security Deposit – (equivalent to 5 weeks’ rent unless rent exceeds £50,000p/a which equates to 6 weeks' rent deposit) |
The Tenancy Agreement requires a deposit equivalent to five weeks’ rent to be cleared in the named account prior to the tenancy start date. This deposit will be held within one of the government-authorised Schemes. The tenant will then be provided with the Deposit Certificate and Prescribed Information within the stipulated 30 days. |

Tax |
If the landlord resides outside the UK for a period more than 6 months in any tax year and the Tenant pays the rent directly to the landlord the tax laws dictate that the Tenant has a liability to deduct tax at the standard rate from the rent and send it quarterly to the Inland Revenue, unless the landlord has shown you a certificate from the Inland Revenue confirming that the landlord is registered to receive rent without deduction. For further information contact the Inland Revenue website at www.hmrc.gov.uk or contact your local Inland Revenue enquiry office. |
