How long will an apartment be reserved after I pay a holding deposit?
For our English apartments, the normal period for agreeing the tenancy after a holding deposit is paid is 15 calendar days, unless you & we agree a different deadline in writing.
This is the statutory deadline for agreement, rather than a promise that every application or reservation will take exactly 15 days. We can complete applications faster when the documents & checks are ready.
What happens during the reservation
- You provide the requested identity, income & referencing information.
- We complete the relevant checks.
- We agree the apartment, rent & tenancy details.
- You review & sign the tenancy documents if your application is approved.
If you need more time, contact us before the deadline. Any extension should be agreed in writing so the position of the holding deposit is clear.
If the application cannot proceed, the refund or retention of the holding deposit depends on the legal rules & the reason. Dublin follows a different reservation & security deposit process.
