Below are guidelines to take into consideration when thinking of renting a property.

• Occupational Contracts (Wales) / Tenancy Agreements (England) are for a minimum term of six months.
• All prospective Contract Holders over 18 years of age will be required to complete an application form and will be referenced unless otherwise agreed by the landlord. 
• The reference check will be completed by an external company and where applicable will involve income verification, employment verification, previous rental address reference and credit file reference.
• All rentals are exclusive of electricity, gas, oil, tv license, water rates and council tax (unless otherwise stated).
• When applying for a property with Wingetts, we will initially ask you to fill out a ‘Pre Application form’.  The landlord will then consider the information that you have provided, along with any other applications that they have received and will make a decision as to whether to progress your initial application to a full application. 
• If progressing to a full application, a holding deposit will be required from you, and will be deducted from the deposit amount which will become due along with the first month’s rent upon successful reference and once an Occupational Contract (Wales) / Tenancy Agreement (England) has been signed.
• If a Guarantor is requested either by Wingetts or by the landlord, they will also be referenced and will sign the Occupational Contract (Wales) / Tenancy Agreement (England).

• This deposit is returnable on the termination of the contract, subject to any deductions being made in lieu of any damage or loss to the furnishings, fixtures, fittings and property. The deposit will be registered in a tenancy deposit protection scheme.

• Rent is payable a calendar monthly in advance by Standing Order (unless otherwise stated).
• In the event of a property also being offered for sale during the period of occupation the Agents reserve the right to arrange appointments with the contract holder/s / Tenant/s for prospective purchasers to view and erect a suitable For Sale Board.
• In accordance with our standard procedure all rental properties are subject to a three monthly inspection which will be arranged by a mutually convenient appointment.

Any problems which may arise during the contract can be dealt with quickly by our lettings team or our out of hours emergency contact which will be given out at the beginning of your contract.  For a full breakdown of terms and conditions of an Occupational Contract (Wales) / Tenancy Agreement (Wales), please click on the links below.
