Costs to the applicant

There is no cost to submit this application to our offices. However, once you have been accepted for a tenancy you will be required to pay a holding fee equal to one month's rent*. This will secure the property and allow the referencing process to continue - this will prevent any further marketing of the property.

Should any of the following circumstances occur, you agree to the related costs being charged to you:

1. If you decide not to proceed with the tenancy, you will be charged for loss of rent** and/or the cost of remarketing***
2. If any information given on your application form is false or incorrect you will fail the referencing process and will be charged for loss of rent** and/or the cost of remarketing***

*Once the tenancy agreement has been signed and accepted, the holding fee will become security deposit and will be protected by Tenancy Deposit Scheme Northern Ireland.
**Loss of rent: if the landlord loses 2 weeks' marketing this will be calculated as losing 2 weeks' rent.
***Remarketing costs will be charged at £150 plus VAT.

By ticking this box you agree to the above declaration

Declaration and consent

There is no cost to submit this application to our offices. Once you have been accepted for a tenancy you will be required to pay the first month’s rent in advance and lodge a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent. Your security deposit will be certified, protected and held securely by Tenancy Deposit Scheme Northern Ireland. This will secure the property and will prevent any further viewings of the property.

The first month's rent needs to be cleared in our client account, three days prior to the tenancy start date.

The tenancy can only begin when all documentation and monies have been received.

Should a Credit Reference check be required, a fee of £25.00 will be incurred. This would be paid by prospective tenant before a reference is taken up. No refund is available should a credit check / reference prove unsatisfactory.

Confidentiality

As per the Global Data Protection Act, please rest assured that Burns & Co will not disclose any information they receive but may refer the applicant to the appropriate Credit Reference Agency.

I understand my reference may be validated by a third party on behalf of Burns & Co.

I confirm that the information supplied to Burns & Co is, to the best of my knowledge, true.
