Taking Occupation Of The Property

Before moving into the property, an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement will be drafted on behalf of both the Landlord and the Tenant. It is essential that you read the Agreement carefully, as you will be legally bound by its terms and conditions for the duration of the agreement. If you do not understand any of the clauses, please ask Ruxton to clarify or consult a Solicitor before signing.

PLEASE NOTE: You will not be able to gain access to the property until this agreement has been signed and the relevant fees have been paid and cleared in our bank account.
