Holding Deposit Information
After you have viewed the property and submitted a formal notice to proceed with your application, and subject to landlord approval (in accordance with Schedule 1 of the Tenant Fees Act 2019), you will be required to pay a refundable holding deposit equivalent to one week’s rent in order to reserve the property.
An invoice will be sent by email once the landlord has accepted your application.
Once the holding deposit is received:
- The property will be marked “Under Offer”
- Marketing will cease
unless you withdraw your application or the tenancy does not proceed.
Purpose of the Holding Deposit
The holding deposit shows a mutual commitment between the landlord and tenant to enter into a tenancy agreement on the agreed terms, while:
- Reference checks are carried out
- Right to Rent checks are completed
The holding deposit forms a binding conditional agreement between the landlord and tenant.
Important: If you choose to secure a property based only on a video viewing, you do so at your own risk. The holding deposit will not be refundable if you later decide to withdraw.
When a Holding Deposit May Be Retained
The holding deposit may be withheld in the following circumstances:
- You withdraw your application
- You fail the Right to Rent (immigration) checks
- You provide false or misleading information, or fail to disclose relevant information that leads the landlord to withdraw or deem you unsuitable
- You do not enter into a tenancy agreement within 15 days of paying the holding deposit (known as the “deadline for agreement”), despite reasonable efforts.
- This deadline can be extended if both parties agree in writing.
