Holding Deposit - Before your application can be fully considered, you will need to pay to us a holding deposit equivalent to one weeks‘ rent for the property you are interested in.

It will be retained by this firm.

However, if the Landlord decides not to offer you a tenancy for reasons unconnected with the above then your deposit will be refunded within 7 days. Should you be offered, and you accept a tenancy with our Landlord, then your holding deposit will be credited to the first months‘ rent due under that tenancy.
