In the event of there being more than one interested party on the same property, WhiteWoods will at our discretion speak with the landlord to ascertain what best suits his or her needs.

Once you decide on the right property for you, we ask you to come into one of our branches and place a *administration/reservation fee on the property. This needs to be accompanied with a fully completed and signed Tenancy Application Form with valid Identification i.e.: copy of passport or driving licence. This must be a photo id type. We will then take the property off the market and ensure that it will not be shown to other prospective tenants whilst the decision process is taking place.

A credit reference search is carried out on all applicants and further references are required from employers and previous landlords where applicable. This procedure will also be applicable for guarantors should they be requested.

Once all the paperwork is in order and we have satisfactory references we will arrange a move in date with you. The initial term of tenancy is 6 months (unless otherwise stated).

Should an application not be successful or the applicant decides they no longer want the property the administration/reservation* fee will be not be refunded due to administration costs.

We require the deposit and the first months rent in advance.. This can either be paid by cheque, five working days before move in, or a bank transfer in to our account.

card payments and banker’s drafts are accepted on the day of move in. Cleared funds are essential before any move in can commence.
