THE DEPOSIT SITUATION

The first deposit of £250 is held against our expenses in processing your application and, if the application is successful, becomes part of the overall deposit for your flat. However, if the tenancy does not proceed because you have changed your mind, or references are not suitable, you will not be entitled to a refund.

If you look after your flat, and return it to us in original condition, we will refund £250 back to each person in your flat at the end of your lease.
