Finding You a Property to Rent Within Your Budget

Our rentals are also available as short-term and long-term rentals (dependent on the property).
Secure A Property to Rent
To secure your rental property you are required to go through a series of checks, referencing, and sign tenancy agreements. Nikki Homes are here every step of the way to help you!
References for rental properties
All prospective tenants will go through a referencing process. We will require references from your employer (or accountant if self-employed), a previous or current landlord, and a credit reference report. We will also require your last three months bank statements. In some situations, we may also require a guarantor. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.
Rental costs
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for council tax, water rates, gas, electricity and telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account or your landlord’s bank account.
Security Deposit
A security deposit of a maximum of five weeks rental will normally be required. This deposit will be treated in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection regulations, and you will be provided with the appropriate prescribed information and receive details regarding the scheme used. The deposit is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.
FAQs About Renting a Property
Plan Your Budget for a Smooth Move. Before searching for a new home, calculate your monthly budget, including security deposits, first month's rent, and holding deposits.
Ready to Rent? View the property, meet housemates (if applicable), and prepare for the referencing process. Don't forget to sign the Tenancy Fee Declaration form.
Landlords want tenants who can pay rent on time and care for the property. This is why you'll be asked to sign an agreement and reference. Tenants applying to rent need to give details of their employer and income, their previous address, and some bank account details. These will be checked to ensure they are able to commit to monthly rental payments.
The deposit safeguards the property against damages beyond normal wear and tear. Your landlord is required to register your deposit with a scheme like My Deposits. You'll receive details about where your deposit is held.
Your landlord is responsible for property maintenance. Check your welcome letter to see if a managing agent is involved. Tenant damage remains the tenant's liability.
At Nikki Homes, we offer support for property maintenance.
If your landlord isn't maintaining the property, contact your letting agent. For additional support, we'll help handle communication and property management.
