All tenants proceeding with renting a property through Page & Wells will be fully referenced so you will need to have the following information
A full credit check will be run, along with an employment reference, and a Landlord reference if you are currently renting.
We will ensure that all the necessary paperwork is dealt with in a fast and efficient manner to get you into your new home.
Please note that although the property will be taken off the market for you, everything is subject to contract and no exact dates can be given. Please do not book days off from work or removal vans until a move in date has been confirmed, subject to satisfactory referencing being completed.

Once a move in date has been confirmed, the tenancy paperwork will be drawn up and an appointment will then be made for all tenants (and guarantors if applicable) to come to the office to sign the paperwork and either collect the keys or meet a member of the team who will check you into your new home.
All move in funds will need to be cleared in our bank account 48 hours before this appointment. Be aware that the need for a guarantor may not become apparent until referencing has been completed, therefore any guarantor referencing fee(s) will only become payable should a guarantor be required. A guarantor has to earn sufficient income and a full credit check will be run, along with verification of earnings. If a rental payment is missed, we will look to the guarantor to pay the full amount of rent. All tenancies are joint and several; which means a guarantor will stand for all tenants (if more than one) not just one specific tenant.
Once you have moved in, we will provide you with all the information you need to live in your new home and who to contact should you have a problem.
