Applying for a Fineholm property

For some tenants this is the first time they have rented privately so we like to try to make the process of applying for a property as smooth as possible. Once you have viewed the property we suggest you contact our office and start chatting to one of our helpful team to see if you and the property are going to be the right fit for each other!

Guide to Renting Property from Fineholm

Why are you asking me so many personal questions?!

All our properties are owned by individual landlords so each property is unique and has its own unique restrictions on both the type of tenant and the type of lease available so its important that we make sure all parties are happy before we get into the legal stuff.

We do have to ask you some quite personal information about yourself and the other individuals moving into the property – about your employment, salary, contract length, previous living arrangements and also run a full credit check on all tenants over 18.  At this stage we are establishing that you are in a financial position to be able to comfortably afford the monthly rent. We use a referencing agency called Vouch to collate the necessary references.

Once we establish you and the property are a good fit we will ask for a holding deposit  as a gesture of your commitment to the property which goes towards the full deposit (generally 1 months rent) on your move in day. Once the holding deposit is paid we then take the property off the open market and begin the credit checking procedure.

No Tenant Fees

We know times are tough and the cost of living continues to go up. We don’t charge our tenants any fees at all for credit checking or to move into a property – the general rule is one months rent as deposit and one months rent in advance so its affordable to take a Fineholm property!

Happy Customers

  • Received my keys on the first of July and since then Marion and Amanda have been absolutely fabulous. I have rented from Clyde, Countrywide and First Lets and I can categorically say that Fineholm are friendlier, more helpful and speak to you like human beings rather than being second class citizens because I rent. They reply to emails quickly and deal with issues as and when they arise. Really pleased and feel very lucky.

  • Dawn provided a very friendly and professional service throughout, initially meeting 2 months before the previous tenant's lease was due to end to discuss the criteria for the new tenant. A meeting was arranged at Fineholm's office with the prospective new tenant to get to know the person a little before committing to a 1 year lease. Every detail was handled perfectly by Dawn who provided a single point of contact which was important to me in terms of continuity.

  • Completed the review this morning and highlighted in particular your excellent customer service. We are really delighted with the tenants you found us and thank you for all your assistance. ( Ps Melissa and Ellen have also been brilliant every time we have spoken to them and nothing is ever too much trouble. They are first class ) Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas together and Santa is good to you all. All the best for 2014.
