FAQ

In addition to the number of bedrooms and condition of the property location is also important in calculating rent. Rent Pressure Zone (RPZ) is a designated area where rents cannot be increased by more than 4% per annum. This applies to new and existing tenancies (unless an exemption is being applied). DNG Wall Tuckey would be delighted to provide a rental appraisal and calculate the rental value for your specific property. Rents are paid monthly in advance by the tenant usually in the form of a standing order.

The security deposit taken is the equivalent of one month’s rent. This deposit covers any breakages, damages or deductions applicable to the property. The deposit is held by the Landlord.

We will obtain both a work reference and a previous landlord reference from each tenant that will occupy the property. On request a bank statement is also provided by the tenants to ensure that sufficient funds are available. All references are cross checked and verified.

At the end of the tenancy the tenant may decide to renew the tenancy for the property or to vacate. If the tenant wishes to renew, landlord/DNG Wall Tuckey can provide you with a renewal contract upon request. If the tenant wishes to vacate they must provide the Landlord/DNG Wall Tuckey with the sufficient notice in writing.

The rate and amount of tax that you are liable for will depend on your own personal circumstances. We always recommend that you consult a qualified tax advisor or financial consultant in order to ascertain this.
