11. Offer and acceptance of holding deposits
When a tenant to reserve or take the property/ room off the market, they will be required to pay a Holding Deposit (reservation) of one week’s rent to initiate the process (‘the Offer’).
The landlord will be notified as soon as this happens and has full discretion whether to reject the Offer, to request further steps (including but not limited to requiring referencing or checking the tenant’s right to rent), or to ask the tenant to sign the Tenancy Agreement. If the tenant adds further tenants or guarantors, or asks the landlord to do so, this constitutes a declaration that each new party added will co-operate with the application process in the same way as the tenant (where applicable).
- If the landlord rejects the Offer or does not proceed within 96 hours of the Offer being made, the Holding Deposit will be refunded to the tenant.
If the landlord chooses to proceed with the tenant’s offer, the property advert will be placed as “Under offer” in searches on 1st Property site until the Agreement has been signed.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the landlord proceeds with the application following the Offer, this does not in itself constitute as a Tenancy Agreement.
Once the Offer has been made, the landlord has the option to order referencing through 1st Property. Where partner or third party referencing companies provide a recommendation of the applicant’s suitability, this recommendation is for information purposes only and is not binding on the parties involved.
- By paying the Holding Deposit, the tenant agrees to the following:
- The tenancy will begin on the date the tenant specifies when beginning their application, except where otherwise agreed in writing with the landlord.
- If the landlord and the tenant enter into a tenancy agreement relating to the Property, the amount of the Holding Deposit will be put towards the first payment of rent under the tenancy.
- The tenant will be taking the property ‘as seen’, except where otherwise agreed in writing with the landlord.
- The tenant will sign our standard contract, a sample copy of which is available upon request, except where specific additional clauses or changes have been explicitly agreed in writing with the landlord in advance of the clauses, or changes, being added to the contract.
The government’s How to Rent Guide and other relevant documents will be provided to the tenants.
- The deadline for agreeing this tenancy will be determined flexibly by the requirements of the tenancy in question and the wishes of the landlord and prospective tenant. 1st Property will not hold the Holding Deposit any longer than is necessary for the tenancy to be satisfactorily agreed between the parties involved.
- If the landlord decides not to enter into a tenancy agreement relating to the Property, then subject to the requirements of any relevant legislation, the Holding Deposit will be returned to the tenant within 5 working days unless one or more of the following applies:
- The tenant notified the landlord, agent, or us in writing, after the landlord chose to proceed following the Offer, that the tenant had decided not to continue their application to rent the property.
- The tenant provided materially false or misleading information to the landlord, or us. Since information provided to our referencing partners or third party companies used will be shared with both 1st Property and the landlord, the tenant acknowledges that materially false information provided to us or our referencing partners/ companies will be grounds for their Holding Deposit not to be returned.
- The landlord had taken all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement, but the tenant failed to take all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement.
- The landlord is prohibited by section 22 of the Immigration Act 2014 (persons disqualified by immigration status) from granting a tenancy of the housing to the tenant, and the landlord did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, that the prohibition applied before the Holding Deposit was accepted.
- If the tenant pulls out of the application (or we have reason to believe this may be the case), we reserve the right to resume marketing the property until it is clear that the tenant still wishes to proceed.
- If there is one or more grounds for not returning the Holding Deposit to the tenant as outlined in these Terms and under the relevant legislation, 1st Property will where appropriately pay the Holding Deposit to the landlord as compensation for the tenant’s abandoned offer and any associated costs and lost profits incurred. However, landlords using the 1st Property website agree that the decision of whether or not to pay the Holding Deposit (or any part of it) to the landlord will be at 1st Property sole discretion and no discussion will be entered into once 1st Property has made this decision.
- We cannot accept a holding deposit if it has been paid to the landlord directly (if this happens, we hold no responsibility/ liability or interest of the holding deposit or the offer the tenant has made directly to the agent or landlord). By making an Offer, tenants are declaring that they have not already paid a holding deposit for the property, or if they have paid such a holding deposit, that it has been refunded in full.
- Where funds have been paid to us in relation to a 1st Property tenancy application, but the requirements of the service are not met in relation to this tenancy, 1st Property will, at our sole discretion, determine whether to return the Holding Deposit and any other funds held by 1st Property in relation to the tenancy to the tenant, or pay some or all of these funds to the landlord.
