Marketing Your Property

paragraph

H Wald & Co has a long standing and enviable reputation in residential lettings; having been established in Folkestone since 1963. We consider ourselves one of the most experienced and successful independent residential agents in Folkestone. We provide a comprehensive service to include periodic visits, Energy Performance Certificates, inventories, check in and check outs, viewings and a professional referencing service. We believe this gives us an intimate knowledge of each of our Landlords' properties. We are highly experienced and would welcome the chance to assist you, whether you are looking to let out your own property, portfolio of properties, or looking to enter the buy-to-let arena.

Inventory

We produce our own MAPIP paper inventory that details every room within the property and gardens if applicable. On check in we meet the new Tenant(s) at the property and go through the inventory room by room also taking meter readings and listing the keys released to the tenant. At time of check in we insist that the Tenant(s) sign and agree the inventory prior to us leaving the property therefore reducing the likelihood of any disputes at the end of the Tenancy.
paragraph

Referencing

When applicants wish to apply for a Tenancy, they have to pass a referencing procedure. We use a professional referencing agency to carry out checks which include - electoral roll, credit history, employment reference, accountant's reference if self employed and previous landlord reference if applicable. We will not proceed with a tenancy unless the applicants have been approved.

APPLICATION A non-refundable referencing fee is payable (£75 per person, £150 per couple). In addition there is an Agreement fee of £100.
REFERENCES We use a professional referencing agent. Each applicant, including any guarantor or company will be required to complete a reference/application form. The reference and application will not proceed until payment of the reference administration fee has been received. A series of enquiries will be made about each applicant by the referencing agency and these will include confirmation of status from the following: Current Landlord, employers, bank/building society, Accountant if self employed, electoral roll, credit reference database including County Court judgments, tenant's database. If you have any doubts about the result of any referencing enquiry being satisfactory, we advise you to disclose this at the application stage.
DEPOSIT We require 6 weeks rent to be held as a deposit. This is returnable at the end of the tenancy provided the terms of the Tenancy Agreement have been complied with.
paragraph

INITIAL PAYMENT The reference and administration fee must be paid prior to referencing forms being submitted. The first month's rent and the deposit must be received by H Wald & Co. in full in cleared funds before we can check you into the property. If you pay by cheque, this must be received seven working days before the commencement of the tenancy.
FUTURE PAYMENTS OF RENT All rental payments are required monthly in advance on the due date. A bank standing order form will be provided for payments by this method. Please ensure that your bank details are completed correctly and that the form is signed and returned to H Wald & Co. Unless otherwise stated, all payments are to be made payable to H Wald & Co.
INSURANCE The landlord is responsible for the insurance of the buildings and any contents they own. We recommend that you have your own contents insurance for your belongings. H Wald & Co can provide you with information about tenants' contents insurance under which various levels of cover are available, including the landlord's items against accidental damage by the tenant. Please ask for details.
paragraph

INVENTORY A detailed inventory, which will also include a Note of Condition as applicable, will be prepared for your signature at the time the tenancy commences. This will be agreed with you when you are checked into the property and again when you check out to vacate. This is important in connection with regard to the return of your deposit. The landlord will also sign an identical copy of this document.
