Tenants: Renting a Property

paragraph

We have a range of properties to let throughout Nottingham. Please view our property search facility for an idea of what we have available. Please be aware that our stock changes daily and you should contact us to register your requirements and for current availability.

What is the application procedure?

Once your application has been successful and a physical viewing of the property has taken place, we will ask you to pay a holding deposit equivalent to one week's rent whilst we undertake referencing. References will be requested from your employer and current landlord (if you are currently in rented accommodation) and we will instruct credit and electoral roll checks.

You may be asked to provide a guarantor if you either are unable to prove your income, earn insufficient income to cover adequately cover the rental obligation, have a poor credit history or are between work positions. The purpose of the guarantor is to honour your rental obligations if you are not in a position to.

Processing the application, including carrying out the referencing procedure, normally takes about 3 - 5 working days.

If you are successful in obtaining the property

Please note to begin a tenancy we require one month's rent in advance and the full deposit (which is equivalent to five week's rent). You will have already paid a holding deposit of one week's rent when applying for the property and this holding deposit will in turn go towards your tenancy deposit (leaving you needing to pay us four week's deposit in cleared funds).

We will confirm a date the tenancy is to begin and usually send paperwork for digital signature a well as asking you for the remainder of your deposit and rent in advance. We will also make an appointment to meet you to hand over keys and all other relevant paperwork.

Your deposit

If the property you are renting is Managed or Part-Managed by David James your deposit will be held by us through our tenancy deposit scheme which is administered by The Dispute Service (TDS). Once your tenancy has commenced we will write to you issuing you with a certificate confirming your deposit registration.

Moving day

On your moving day, you may be provided with an inventory which we will ask you to sign at our office. From the date of signature you will have 72 hours in which to cross reference this inventory and let us know of any discrepancies or changes that you believe need to be made. Should we not hear from you within the 72-hour period, the signed copy of the inventory held at our office will become binding.

Testimonials from Landlords

Landlord Testimonial

approachable, knowledgeable extremely professional

I cannot thank David James Estate Agents enough for the kind and efficient way in which they arranged our new rental home. From the first viewing, until we received the keys everything ran smoothly and exactly as we wanted.In particular we would like to thank Grace Walker for everything she did for us. She is approachable, knowledgeable and extremely professional. We cannot recommend her enough. The house is wonderful and the whole experience has been stress free. Other letting agents could learn a great deal from David James and staff. Thank you

Dawn Pritchard (18th August 2021)
Landlord Testimonial

friendly and professional

Having moved overseas to work, I put my flat in the care of David James when renting it out. They have been diligent and efficient in managing it, promptly dealing with any problems that arose and communicating with me, as well as making regular inspections and dealing with tenants, organising minor repairs, refurbishments and changeovers when necessary. When the time came to part with the property they attracted several viewings and offers remarkably quickly and with equal efficiency. I have always found them to be easy to deal with; friendly and professional and recommend them to potential buyers, sellers and absentee owners looking for managing agents alike.

Mr Seaman (February 2019)
Landlord Testimonial

...genuinely grateful for the excellent service!

I am genuinely grateful for the excellent service I have received over the years David James have managed my property. The regular inspections reports, first-rate communication and polite and respectful service are all as good as I have ever seen. They are certainly better than other letting agents I have used in the past. My most heartfelt thanks goes to James Roys for his tireless and supportive work in the face of difficulties as we approached the completion date. He is part of a team that should be proud of the service they provide!

Mr Redding (January 2019)

Lettings team were great...

Mr Hallam (January 2019)
Landlord Testimonial

the whole process went swiftly and smoothly...

I would just like to thank the staff at Mapperley especially James and Grace for their help in setting up the new tenancy for my property. They answered my many questions very helpfully and the whole process went swiftly and smoothly. Thank you!

(August 2018)
Landlord Testimonial

David James provided excellent service. We have used them before to find a tenant for our rental property and they did a quick and efficient job on that occasion. This time we sold a house. The pictures and house details looked very professional. We had several viewings and sold quickly. They did all the negotiations and kept me fully informed as we moved to completion. Thank you for making this as stress free as possible.

Mr Hurst (July 2018)
Landlord Testimonial

kept us informed every step of the way...

From initially viewing my new flat at short notice to getting the keys I can't fault anyone at David James, Cody and later Grace handled everything speedily, efficiently and no query or problem was a issue too small, they kept us informed every step of the way and we got the keys after two and a bit weeks. The inventory for the flat is extremely detailed with pictures which is very professional (and much better than previous inventories I have had!) and I know that my tenancy will be in safe hands and that any issues will be dealt with as soon as practically possible.

Mr Waring (November 2018)
Landlord Testimonial

Customer Service is perfect

We have been renting our property for 4 and a half years and we have recently purchased our first house also from David James. I would like to say a massive thank you to Claire Redfern for being so helpful and friendly whenever she came round for inspections. Her Customer Service is perfect.

Mrs Siddall (February 2018)
Landlord Testimonial

Would highly recommend!

The Property Management team has given me a consistently good service- we have worked together for several years on numerous properties and they have never failed to get me the results I need. I have dealt with many agents in Nottingham over the years and can confidently say that I feel like I get the excellent service that I've always expected, but never got elsewhere. Would highly recommend!

Ms A Cox (30th July 2017)

I'm not the easiest Landlord to deal with, but the team at David James went above and beyond to make sure that all of my needs were fulfilled.

It is rare these days to receive consistent professional, courteous, efficient and effective service and as such I would like to commend your Lettings Department.

the whole team have been fantastic

Just had my quarterly inspection with Claire again, yet another easy and smooth experience with the David James Mapperley team. First time we have used a 'letting agent' and we were dreading what laid ahead but have got to say that the whole team have been fantastic and made the experience completely painless. A big thanks to Claire, Luke, Nicole and the rest of The Mapperley branch for making it such an easy move.

I have been a tenant with David James for almost a year and have to say that I have never dealt with such an efficient and proficient estate agency before.

I have been extremely happy in my property!

I would like to say that over the past, nearly 3 years, I have been extremely happy in my property and I am sad to be leaving. I would like to thank all of you at David James for your helpful, courteous and professional service, I would definitely recommend you!

Joanne Nowell (30th January 2014)
Tenant Testimonial

A job well done needs to be recognised!

I am writing regards the service you have provided us. I would like to say you have been exemplary and gave amazing customer satisfaction. You let us ask as many questions as we needed during our first viewing of the property, kept us well informed throughout the application procedure and inspired confidence in me regards to the company as a whole.

On our second viewing (booked so we could take measurements for furniture) you brought along an electronic measuring device, which greatly sped up the process.

I believe that a job well done needs to be recognised and even though you stated multiple time you were "just doing your job" I think the company should be commended for the excellent service provided. I will in future be recommending the entire David James company to my friends and look forward to our dealings together.

Mr Spry (23rd July 2013)
Tenant Testimonial

It has been a pleasure dealing with you!

I would like to say a big thank you to you for letting me the property over the last year and three months and it has been a pleasure dealing with you!
