Do I need to pay anything when submitting an application?
You do not pay a separate application or referencing fee for a standard residential tenancy in England. We may ask for a permitted holding deposit if you want us to reserve a particular apartment while checks are carried out.
In England, the maximum holding deposit is one week’s rent. For a monthly rent, that is calculated as the monthly amount multiplied by 12, then divided by 52. We will explain the terms & refund rules before requesting it.
We cannot require rent to be paid before both parties sign the tenancy agreement. A tenancy deposit, if required, is a separate permitted payment subject to legal limits.
For our Dublin development
Irish payment rules differ. A security deposit must not exceed one month’s rent & required advance rent is generally limited to one month. We will confirm whether any reservation payment applies & provide the written terms before you pay.
Always use the payment instructions provided as part of your verified application, never bank details from an unexpected message.
