These are recommended checks that confirm your personal details, employment status and affordability. Once referencing has been completed we will agree the move in date with you and the landlord and all the necessary legal documents will be sent to you via email for you to read and e-sign.

Selling and letting property is our core business, but we do not stop there. We offer a wide range of services including property finance, insurance, valuations, and property management.

LETTINGS

At True Homes Lettings, we believe its right to give the landlord as much security as possible and as the government have recently stopped tenants from having to pay admin fee’s – we do not believe this should mean the landlord has to foot the bill. Therefore, we are keeping all our fee’s as low as possible while keeping the standard of service high. We can offer a tenant find fee for 0.85% with a 10% management fee with no VAT.
