Tenants
Our dedicated lettings staff offer a highly efficient and friendly service. Indigo has a reputation for looking after its tenants. Tenants prefer to deal with Indigo Property than anyone else.
When applying for a property, our Letting Negotiators work alongside both Landlord and Tenant, liaising with both parties to agree on the terms of the proposed letting. Tenants are required to fill out a tenant application form and disclosure, so that referencing may be taken up.
For affordability reasons we usually require the named tenants to earn in excess of 2.5 times the annual rent, as a household, per annum. The easiest way to work this out is if all people taking up tenancy add their monthly wages together, the rent should cost a maximum of 40% of the total monthly income.
Once referencing completes, and the tenancy is approved subject to contract, Indigo Property requires all monies paid in respect of properties are cleared into their banking account prior to the commencement of the Tenancy Agreement. Cleared funds in the form of Bankers Draft or cash may be paid in at any time prior to the commencement date of the Tenancy Agreement. If clarification is needed, please contact us at the earliest opportunity.
Landlords normally hold Tenancy Deposits for properties that they manage themselves, details of this will be provided to you prior to the commencement of the tenancy. Prior to occupying your new home, it is the tenant's responsibility to inform the electricity, gas, telephone, water and council tax office of the services to be put into the correct name/s. We can provide the relevant contact details as required.
New Tenancy
A holding deposit of one week’s rent will be required to secure a property while references and credit checks for affordability are taken up by a third party. We strongly advise all applicants to be as honest as possible, as providing incorrect information may result in deductions of the holding deposit.
Tenancy Deposits, up to the value of five weeks rental, is required on all for residential properties. Normally Indigo Property holds tenancy deposits for our managed residential properties, which are then registered with The Dispute Service within 30 days (please ask for full details).
