Find a Property
Once you have found a property to let which matches your criteria, we will conduct a reference check and contact your guarantors if required. We will then register your deposit in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme.
On the day you move in, we will provide an inventory and verify the condition of the property (applicable for properties managed by Bespoke Property). You should check this carefully as soon as you receive it as this helps to protect both you and the landlord over the course of the tenancy.

Tenants FAQs
How do I secure the property I want?
You can browse our portfolio of rental properties online, before arranging viewings with a member of our experienced and knowledgeable team. Once you have found the property you wish to let, we will ask you to complete an on-line application through our chosen referencing company (Rentshield). Once this has been completed and you have passed their criteria then we will draw up the draft tenancy for you to read through and agree to prior to moving in to the property.
You can view all of our available properties here.
What does referencing involve?
It is standard practice for any good letting agent to check your suitability to rent the property, and we are no different. We will ask for details of your employer and a previous landlord who can verify your suitability for a new tenancy, as well as running checks with a credit referencing agency. We will confirm your right to live and work in the UK and seek proof of your identity and that of anyone living with you. If you do have any credit issues or you believe there is any other information that may affect you passing our referencing procedure, it is best to tell us straight away.
Why might I need a guarantor?
Some landlords might ask for a guarantor if they are not satisfied your earnings are quite enough to cover the rent or if you have previous credit issues. This is not uncommon and you should not be concerned. You would need to choose someone to be your guarantor who lives in England or Wales and who would be able to cover your rental commitment in the event of a default. The same reference checks would then be carried out for your guarantor as were done for you.
Why should I pay a Tenancy Deposit?
Landlords require a tenancy deposit to protect the property against any damage you might cause during your tenancy. Landlords can only charge you for any cleaning, damage or issues that go above normal wear and tear and this will be assessed at the end of your tenancy, with the aid of a detailed inventory and schedule of condition. The deposit can also be held against non-payment of rent.
Where will my Tenancy Deposit be held?
It is a legal requirement that all deposits are held in a government-backed Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. Bespoke Property Management adheres to this and will ensure that all tenancy deposits are lodged in a suitable scheme and will provide proof of registration of your deposit with the relevant scheme.
What is the tenancy agreement?
This is a legal document that states the precise terms and conditions of the tenancy and is designed to protect both you and the landlord. Bespoke Property Management uses an industry-approved standard Tenancy Agreement which can be amended to include specific circumstances outlined by either party.
What happens if repairs are required?
If you feel there is a problem that needs fixing, an appliance to be repaired or general maintenance work that is due on a property that we manage, you should contact us immediately. We will inform your landlord and, if necessary, call upon one of the many trusted tradesmen on our extensive database of contractors. You should be aware that if you cause damage you will usually be required to cover the cost of repairing it.
Can my landlord enter the property?
Your landlord and their managing agent must give you sufficient notice if they wish to enter the property, except in the case of an emergency, such as a burst pipe.
What are my responsibilities?
By signing a tenancy agreement, you are agreeing to abide by all the terms contained within it. The most common duties you must perform as a tenant are to pay your rent on time, pay household bills without delay, report any damages you notice and maintain the cleanliness of the property.
Am I responsible for insurance?
You will need to purchase a contents insurance policy to the value of possessions you are bringing into the property. We would advise you to have specialist insurance which covers both your own belongings and those of the landlord against accidental damage caused by you. You can get specialist tenant insurance.
Can my landlord increase the rent?
Your landlord may wish to do this after a minimum period that you have been renting the property has passed. The landlord would need to agree this with you, and we would be happy to mediate the negotiation at this time to help find a satisfactory outcome.
Can I extend my lease at a property?
Once the initial fixed term has come to an end, it is often possible to renew it so you can continue living at a property. As the term comes into its final months you should talk to us and we can advise on your landlord’s willingness to extend your stay.
What happens when I want to move out?
A period of notice will be set out in your tenancy agreement and you must give this when you intend to leave. Providing you follow this, it is easy to move out of a property, as long as you respect the timescales and procedures that are in place. You should tell us as soon as you have decided to move out and we will advise on your next steps.
When will my tenancy deposit be returned?
When you move out, a check-out inspection will be carried out which will refer to the inventory and schedule of condition signed when you moved in. We will report the results to both you and the landlord. Your deposit will then be returned in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme, less any deductions which have been agreed between you and the landlord.
Out of Hours Emergency
You will have been provided with an emergency 24 hour mobile number when you signed your tenancy agreement (located at the top of your tenancy agreement). Please call this number. However should you not be able to locate your emergency number then please follow the points below.
In the case of an emergency that occurs outside of our normal office hours:
