    I instructed Daniel to sell my home following a number of valuations by local agents. Daniel stood out from the crowd with his local knowledge, experience and clear marketing strategy. I would highly recommend Daniel and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

    Tenant Fees – In line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019

    Holding Deposit

    Once you decide to proceed with renting a property, a holding deposit equivalent to one week’s rent is payable.

    • This will be deducted from your move-in costs if the tenancy goes ahead.

    • If the landlord decides not to proceed, or an agreement is not reached through no fault of your own, the holding deposit will be refunded in full.

    • The deadline to enter into a tenancy agreement is 15 days from receipt of the holding deposit, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

    The holding deposit may be retained if:

    • False or misleading information is provided

    • A Right to Rent check is failed

    • You withdraw from the proposed tenancy

    • You fail to take reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy

    If the holding deposit is retained, written reasons will be provided within 7 days.

    Security Deposit (per tenancy)

    • Annual rent below £50,000:
      Five weeks’ rent

    • Annual rent of £50,000 or more:
      Six weeks’ rent

    The deposit covers damage or defaults during the tenancy and will be protected within an approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme. It will be returned in line with the tenancy agreement.

      Changes to the Tenancy Agreement

      £50 (including VAT) per variation

      Payable where changes are requested after the tenancy agreement has been signed. This covers landlord instructions and preparation of updated legal documents.

      R

      Change of Tenant or Sharer

      £50 (including VAT) per replacement tenant, or reasonable costs incurred if higher.

      This covers landlord instructions, referencing, Right to Rent checks, deposit registration, and preparation of new legal documents.

      Late or Unpaid Rent

      Interest may be charged at 3% above the Bank of England Base Rate, calculated daily from the rent due date until payment is received.

      This will only apply where rent is more than 14 days overdue.

      Lost or Broken Keys

      Tenants are responsible for the reasonable cost of replacing lost, broken, or damaged keys, fobs, locks, or security devices.

      Where locks need to be changed, costs may include locksmith charges, replacement locks, and new keys. A full itemised breakdown will always be provided.

      R

      Early Termination (Tenant Request)

      If a tenant requests to leave the tenancy early, they will be responsible for:

      • The landlord’s reasonable costs of re-letting the property

      • Rent due until the replacement tenancy begins

      These costs will not exceed the rent outstanding under the tenancy.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      1. What is the process for renting a home with Haboodle?

      The process starts by sharing your rental preferences, including location, budget, and must-have features. We then arrange viewings for suitable properties. Once you choose a home, a holding deposit secures it while we complete reference checks and Right to Rent verification. Finally, you’ll sign your tenancy agreement and prepare for move-in day, with our team guiding you every step of the way.

      2. What documents do I need to rent a home in Purley or Streatham?

      To rent a property, you’ll typically need proof of identity (passport or driving license), proof of income (pay slips or bank statements), a reference from a previous landlord or letting agent, and evidence of your Right to Rent in the UK. Additional documents may be requested depending on the property or tenancy type.

      3. How is my deposit protected?

      Your tenancy deposit is securely held in a government-approved tenancy deposit protection scheme. This ensures your money is safe and will be returned in full at the end of your tenancy, provided the property is left in good condition and all tenancy terms are met.

      4. What happens if there’s a maintenance issue during my tenancy?

      If a maintenance issue arises, you can contact our team directly. We will coordinate with the landlord and approved contractors to resolve the problem promptly, keeping you updated throughout the process.

      5. What are the upfront costs when renting a property?

      Upfront costs usually include a holding deposit to secure the property, the first month’s rent, and a tenancy deposit (typically equivalent to five weeks’ rent). Additional fees may apply depending on your tenancy type, but Haboodle follows all legal requirements to ensure fees are transparent and fair.
