Open Market Rent
We offer private rent apartments and houses in Colchester and Chelmsford, charged at current market values.
The first step in applying for a tenancy of a yourspace homes property, once you have viewed the property with us, is to pay an Application Fee. Once the application fee has been paid, each adult occupants will need to be credit and reference checked. We require that each person over 18 years old living in the property completes an application form and provides us with a copy of ID (either passport or driving licence) and a proof of residency.
Once your Tenancy Application Fee is received and cleared, we will cancel any pre-arranged viewings and we will not carry out any further viewings at the property whilst we process your application with our referencing agency. They will check your credit report plus check for any CCJ’s, bankruptcy and suspected fraud. If you are aware of any problems, please inform us before we process your application. We will also obtain a reference direct from your Employer and from your previous Landlord or Letting Agent if applicable.
This process can take between 2 days to 1 week to complete. The most common reason for a delay in your Tenancy Application is usually due to either lack of information on your form or your Employer or Landlord/Letting Agent not responding quickly. Please advise these people that they will be contacted by our Referencing Agency and ask them to respond urgently otherwise it could delay your Application and subsequently your required move-in date.
Only once your Tenancy Application is complete we will be able to confirm a definite move-in date and we will produce the Tenancy Agreement and associated documents for you to sign on the day you move in. You will be required to pay a dilapidations desposit and at least 1 months rent in advance on the day you collect the keys.
