When you decide to rent property through Christopher Pallet (Lettings) we will ask you to pay a “holding deposit” of one weeks’ rent. This takes the property off the market while references are being taken.This will then be offset against your initial rent with your written consent.

We will ask you to sign and return an offer  form to provide us with your permission to take up references.  We will only be able to process your application when we receive this back, after which, an application link will be emailed to you for completion.

We will take up referencing you through an independent referencing agency the Landlord will be responsible for the payment for the references.

We require proof of your identity in the form of a current passport. If you are not a citizen of the European Economic Union, we will require proof of your permission to reside in the UK for the term of your proposed tenancy.
