==================================
How To Apply for Viewing
==================================
- Please send me a message...
- I will send you some questions for my initial filtering. If you are suitable, we will arrange a time for you to view a property.
- The existing tenant is still at the flat so I am pre-filtering all tenants


==================================
The size of the flat 29m2 (important if you are a couple)
==================================
- Please note that on George St the original homes were modest buildings, divided in to flats this means that they are just below 30m2 of living space
- The space is best suited for a single person, although I have had couples rent the flat very happily for 2+ years (they came from a house so were very happy to have their own space) it just depends on the couple
- If you are two people + baby, I believe the flat will not give you the space you need to be comfortable, you will not be happy there, so I will reject your enquiry


=================================
Other Important Information
=================================

- Tenants must be full time permanent workers who can pass Experian Tenant Referencing (employer and previous landlords will be contacted as part of this process for referencing), this is a requirement of landlord protection insurance and unfortunately this the only profile of tenant that my insurance is valid for
- To pass referencing you will need good credit history, electoral roll history, and pass affordability checks (income around £30k per year or more, to pass the "affordability" section of the check)
- No smoking inside the flat please
- Deposit = 5 weeks rent
- Price covers rent only, bills not included (bills are council tax, water, electricity, gas), I can ask the current tenant about average running costs, if you need this information

- You will rent from me (the landlord) directly, so there will be no agencies slowing things down or slow repairs, unwanted charges, or very frequent visits / checks etc!

Thanks!
