House wanted

[oldschool1955]

Still looking for a 2/3 bed house in Southport so please if you know any PRIVATE landlords who have property to rent pm me .Entwistle Green have a few but when i said there would be 3 of us they told me it would be £75 EACH to do a credit check i fired them off ! What a bloody rip-off ,i am as the one who will be the named leaseholder quite prepared to pay the cost of a check but why do they want it off all 3 of us ? Just another so called reputable firm cashing in on the current downturn in the countries slide into yet another depression.

The price may be high, but you need all members of the household of age checking.

same here, I found a perfect one with entwistle green and they wanted £350 plus vat! almost a months rent in fees!

They recon because they are a national firm they can charge what they like.

Sad thing is the landlord accepted our offer and then we said no because of the fees, i bet they told him we had changed his mind!

WHY ??!! Only my name would be on the lease so it would only be me they come for if the rent wasnt paid ! Just a rip off and the landlords miss out on renting their property .

and the landlords miss out on renting their property .

No they won't. There are more would be tenants than property available

C&P I couldn't be bothered explaining it;
You should always have ALL adult residents on your tenancy agreement – they are all tenants. Otherwise you could have a situation where the main tenant leaves, leaving a non tenant in residence, with no agreement, no proof of tenancy and unable to easily gain possession. If you are intending taking out Rent or Deposit Guarantee Insurance you need a Comprehensive check on all adult residents. However, if one main tenant is paying the rent you may decide to do a Comprehensive Check on that one tenant and optionally a basic one on the other/s.

Sorry, like it or not, but its true. Other potential tenants will pay the fees and move in. Until there are more propertys empty than prospective tenants it won't change
