TENANTS

paragraph

Registering your interest in a property

Once you have decided on a property and we have discussed this with the landlord, you will need to commence your application by placing a reservation fee of one weeks rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the first month's rent upon move in. If the landlord or Number 1 letting declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However, the reservation fee will be forfeited if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application that ultimately is the cause for rejection, for example an applicant fails to disclose bad credit on application. (For further clarity and details please see Tenant Fee Structure below).
paragraph

Rents and other financial commitment

Rents are normally quoted per calendar month and payable monthly in advance. We will require your bond and first month's rent with cleared funds on move in day minus your registration fee of one weeks rent which was paid initially. Additionally, if your chosen property accepts pets it will state the rent on the advertisement. (For further clarity and details please see Tenant Fee Structure below).

Landlord Testimonial

Polite and extremely helpful

By: 'Lynn H.'

Received excellent service from this firm, particularly James who went that extra mile to be polite and extremely helpful. The service Number 1 provided was certainly tailor made to our requirement and within 1hour of our property going on line it had several potential tenants and the house occupied within the week. I have never used this service or firm before but would not hesitate to do so again or recommend Number 1 to other landlords.
Landlord Testimonial

Altogether an excellent service.

By : 'Mozza'

Very pleased with the service we have received and we will use them again. We have used other letting agents in the town but they have not been as good as Number 1 Letting. James is very pleasant and approachable. Altogether an excellent service.

Testimonials from Tenants

Tenant Testimonial

Nothing but praise for these guys

By: 'James H'

Nothing but praise for these guys. The house that we were meant to be buying fell through at the last minute, so we contacted them in real need of some help. We called them on a Friday afternoon, and they had us checked in to our new property by the following Tuesday. Must be some kind of record! Massively impressed and indebted to James and the team at Park Row.You stepped up when we needed you most, thanks for everything.
Tenant Testimonial

They really look after their tenants and I couldn't recommend them more.If you are thinking of renting or have them manage you're properties then have no hesitations.
Tenant Testimonial

Extremely helpful and friendly

By: 'Deana Barrett'

Extremely helpful and friendly. Excellent communication by both email and telephone. Queries and issues dealt with efficiently and in a timely manner. Great team!
Tenant Testimonial

always available and responsive

By: 'Nick'

As my first proper agents (aside from Student Accom Landlords back in the mists of time) they've been great. Addressed all my issues as quick as they could, always available and responsive. Great Comms from them; even if they'd not been able to get in touch with the landlord they'd proactively make me aware they're still trying. Doubtful my next move will be within the area they cover, but if it was I'd have no hesitation going with Number 1 again.
Tenant Testimonial

A fabulous agency to deal with

By: 'Claire'

A fabulous agency to deal with. Very professional, respectful and efficient in all dealings as well as providing the personal touch.
