Venture Properties, Darlington

If you are looking to move into a rental property make sure you are on our mailing list. Our list of tenants vary from Housing Benefit clients all the way up to multi-national companies looking for company lets for their employees.

Once you have viewed a property and have decided you would like to submit an application, please call our office straight away to avoid potentially missing out. If there are multiple viewings happening, the landlord will often want them to all go ahead before deciding on their preferred choice.

The initial stage is just a phone call about your circumstances. If you are successful, we will ask for a payment of a Holding Deposit, which will be the equivalent to one week's rent. We will then take the property off the market and begin the referencing stage.

A link will be emailed to you to submit an online application form where credit checks will be carried out, as well as employer and landlord references. We will also do Right to Rent checks on you and anyone over the age of 18 who will be living at the property, to ensure you have a legal right to reside in the UK.

Once you have passed the referencing stage, a move-in date will be booked where you will come to the office to sign paperwork, collect keys and make payment of one month's rent and normally a deposit (bond) of 5 weeks' rent as well. The initial Holding Deposit you paid to secure the property, will be deducted from this amount.

If your landlord has opted for our Fully Managed service, you will be assigned your own Property Manager who will look after you throughout the tenancy and you will be given their contact details. Alternatively, if the landlord manages the property themselves, their contact details will be handed over.
