We’re not a 9 to 5 business as our buyers and tenants are busy people too. So we're open late, with viewings up to and even beyond 8pm, because that's often the only time they can view.
Our understanding of the local areas around our offices is better than any other agent. This is why our portfolio of properties are never unsold or unlet for too long.
The founders and owners of Hunters as well as the majority of our brokers live in the local areas we serve - meaning that they are talking from experience and not from a company sales book.
We're more than just an estate agent as our team offers a range of complementary services, a full refurbishment service as well as a property management, to name a few, designed to maximise our clients' returns from their property investments.
Good customer service in the property business really does make a difference. We're determined to do everything we can to live up to and exceed your expectations!
Steps and procedures for undertaking a Tenancy through Hunters Estate Agents:
Once agreement has been reached by the tenant and landlord to rent a particular property through Hunters, we normally request a financial deposit of intent which would enable us to secure the property for you, subject to satisfactory references and contract; this is purely due to the high demand for rental accommodation.
References
We carry out our reference and credit searches. A fee of £40 plus VAT per adult is applicable at point of application for a specific property. This application requires details and references including:
- Bank/Financial/Accountant
- Employers
- Previous Landlord
- Personal
- Guarantor (if required)
Monies
Prior to the commencement of your tenancy, we must have received cleared funds to cover the following:
- First months/quarters rent payable in advance
(Thereafter by standing order to Hunters Estate Agents – unless otherwise instructed). - Security deposit - equivalent of four/six weeks rent.
- Administration charge £150 + VAT (including legal documentation)
Additional Costs
All occupants of the rental property will be liable for payment of all local council tax, electric and gas service, water rates, telephone services and T.V licence (where applicable) throughout the duration of the tenancy together with the monthly rental, unless otherwise instructed. Relevant service providers will be informed of new occupants by the landlord or Hunters Estate Agents, with the exception of telephone services.
Inventory
On the day of commencement, we arrange on behalf of both tenant and landlord for an independent inventory clerk (unless otherwise instructed) to carry out an inspection of the premises stating the contents and condition of the property. The same process is also carried out at the termination of the tenancy. As an inventory “check in” and “check out” are extremely important to both parties, the cost of the check in is borne by the landlord and the check out cost by you, the Tenant. The cost for the compilation of the original inventory is borne by the landlord.
We hope that this information is of use to you, but feel free to contact us where a member of our staff is always on hand to help with any particular query.
