Putting Forward Your Offer

Holding Charge:

Once you have found a property, you will be required to pay an initial holding charge calculated at 1 weeks rent for application. The property will stay on the market until this has been received. You agree that the holding deposit will be put towards  the first months’ rent. fw Estate Agents will retain the holding charge If you pull out of renting the property, fail a right to rent check, provide false or misleading statements and If you have been unable to exchange signed contracts within 15 calendar days of taking a holding deposit due to you not being able to sign contracts. The 15 calendar days can be extended by any period, provided you have mutual written agreement from yourself and the landlord
