Letting Costs

"Many agents will charge you a fee for finding you a house. They'll also charge you a fee for checking your references, for running a credit check against you, even for printing off a copy of their standard contract for you to examine. These fees can mount up very quickly. For a bigger house in Durham you could be looking at fees of hundreds of pounds and even for smaller houses you could be looking at fees of £100 or more. Why pay fees of hundreds of pounds?" DSU Accommodation Office.

Studenthomezone charge no such fees!

 

Rent & Deposit Information

We require the deposit to be paid at the time of exchange of the lease. We will also require a completed standing order or posted dated cheques in our favour to cover the period of the lease. We have a very large inventory in the properties and therefore charge a realistic deposit but your money is protected by law and registered with Tenancy Deposit Solutions.

We normally arrange a pre-surrender inspection about 3 weeks before the end of the lease and go through what is missing based on the inventory we do when you move in. We prefer that anything broken is replaced rather than deduct money from the deposit but we give you plenty of time to do this. Remember, you are dealing with local landlords not faceless institutions; we will help you in any way we can and, unlike estate agents, we do not charge a signing on fee or key money.
