Searching for a property couldn't be easier. Our website is updated every 15 minutes so any properties that are taken on are shown almost immediately. We ensure that you are able to view floor plans, virtual tours, photography and full descriptions so that by the time you view the property it's almost just to confirm what you have already seen from our website.
Reserving a Property
Once you have found your perfect property, you’ll want to secure it as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the process of establishing whether your references are acceptable can take up to 48 hours. To enable you to secure the property, you will need to provide a holding deposit. This is equivalent to one weeks’ rent. This will be taken off the total 6 week security deposit. You will also be required to pay the reference costs and administration costs. However, should you pull out of the agreement at this stage, you will lose this holding deposit, so make sure you are confident that this is the property for you. Should your references prove unsuitable, the fee will be returned, but you will be charged an administration fee to cover the costs of the referencing.
References
Running your references couldn't be any easier. We use a very reliable company called FCC Paragon who are able to complete a reference application anywhere from 1 hour to 24 to 48 hours. The reference forms are sent remotely via email direct to your email address. Should you not have access to an email then the forms will need to be completed and sent to us within 24 hours. A copy of the relevant application forms are attached in the tab above entitled Useful forms for Tenants. Whilst the references are being run we will ask for the following additional information to be provided to us within 24 hours of holding deposits being paid:
Copy of passport / driving license Copy of utility bill dated within the last 3 months Copy of last 2 months bank statements.

Rental Payments
You are required to complete a standing order mandate with Oxygen Property Management. This will be sent to your bank account to ensure your monthly rental payments are set up in time. Standing Order dates must be set up for a minimum of 3 days before the rent due date stated in the tenancy agreement. This will allow time for the monies to be first transferred into our Client Account and then into the Landlord's account.
Insurance
It is advisable for tenants to take out the necessary insurances to protect their belongings. Your landlord should have taken out the necessary buildings and fitted contents insurance. A copy of this policy will be made available should you require it.
Inventory / Check-In
A full comprehensive Inventory will be taken prior to your move in. A copy of which will be made available in your welcome pack. Upon your departure you will be requested to complete a Check Out. The cost varies between £90 - £150 plus VAT.
