2 Bed Flat, Forth Avenue, KY2

I will be viewing the flat on Saturday 20th May

** this advert has been updated due to many people not turning up or failing credit checks. There have been nearly 60 applicants, 12 made a shortlist. Out of those 12, 5 have not turned up for viewings. I work too! If you make an appointment please keep it or cancel it.

Flat would suit a professional / professional couple or couple with young child. Tenants are moving out on 28/5/23. I'm going to be offering the flat for viewings on Saturday 20th.

Screening questions:

1. How many people will be staying?
2. Are you and any joint applicant employed?
3. What are your combined salaries?
4. Email address
5. Phone number
6. Will you be ready to sign a lease starting on the 29th May?
7. Do you know your address history? The credit referencing will need you to have that information.
8. Will you be able to provide landlord and employment references which I can check on?

Please answer these when replying as I won't offer a viewing unless I have answers to them.

You will be renting from a hands-off experienced private landlord. I live in Fife and can deal with any issues but I'm not the type to be coming round every month. I’m always available on whatsapp too. I'm looking for reliable tenants. I'll always be on top of maintenance if needed plus all the required safety checks are in place. All electrical have been tested and there’s an annual gas safety check and boiler service. All I ask is you look after the place and pay the rent on time. Please don't go for the flat if you can't afford it as there will be checks.

Deposit £750. Deposit will be lodged in government approved deposit scheme (Letting Protection Scotland).

EPC D (1 point off C and I have installed energy efficient lighting since)
Council Tax Band B
Landlord registration number 1602252/250/10062

All tenants will be vetted for insurance purposes and reliability. I’ll required documents and references which will be checked. No lease will be signed until I have the credit and affordability checks back. References and affordability proof are a must. No DSS I'm afraid due to high insurance costs.
Pets are potentially allowed but please be up front and let me know. The cost of the checks will be added to the first month rent. They cost £25 per person on lease and take 3-5 days.

Ideally I am looking for someone to commmence a lease from the 29th May.
