Tenants - The Renting Process

The Renting Process: Seven Key Stages

1) Start by registering your interest with our team. 

2) Schedule a viewing for the property you're interested in.

3) Complete an application and if successful, make the relevant Holding Deposit Payment.

4) Supply all required information to complete your application and referencing checks. Full disclosure of all relevant details is essential.

5) Once necessary checks have been completed, your move-in date will be arranged and you will then pay the first month’s rent and security deposit and sign your Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement.

6) A representative from Giraffe Residential—or your landlord, if they are managing the property directly—will meet you at the property to hand over the keys.

7) Our Property Management team will carry out routine inspections—typically every four months—to ensure the property remains in good condition and fit for purpose.
