Renting with Holding Homes

The Rental Process

Browse available listings on our website or major portals (Rightmove, Zoopla).
Book viewings with us via email or phone; we guide you through any property in detail.

Once you find a suitable property, you make your offer to the landlord
We work with you to get all the relevant documentation including checking IDs, right-to-rent proof, employment details, and references.
We check affordability (usually 30x monthly rent in annual salary) and discuss guarantor or other arrangements if needed.

Upon acceptance, you’ll sign a tenancy agreement and pay the first month’s rent + deposit.
Your deposit is held in a protected government-backed scheme for your security (the interest stays with the scheme to help keep it running).

We have a detailed report on the state of the property when you move in so we can identify fair wear and tear for you during the tenancy.
We hand over keys, record meter readings, provide an inventory, and ensure you have all compliance certificates (EPC, Gas Safety, etc.) and anything else you need (instruction manuals etc).
You’ll receive info on how to pay rent, which is recommended to be by Standing Order, and who to contact for maintenance issues (us).

We don’t ask much of you when you rent with is - pay your rent on time and look after the property.
For repairs or concerns, contact us; we’ll coordinate with you to get your issues resolved ASAP.
We also do periodic inspections to ensure everything’s in good order – don’ worry, these are done with at least 24hrs written notice, and we aim to arrange to do them at a mutually convenient time.

At the end of your tenancy period, you can either renew or move out
Whichever way you choose to go, we will be on hand to help.
If you decide to renew, we’ll guide you through the renewal process or help you find another property.
If you choose to go, we will finalise meter readings, check the inventory, and handle deposit returns through the protection scheme.

Get in touch and we can help you find your next rental property, talk you through the process and answer any questions you may have about renting.
