RISK AND INFORMATION QUALITY

Although we aim to provide a platform where users contribute in providing a high standard of quality information, we cannot take any responsibility to the information supplied on our site nor can we guarantee its accuracy.

We recommend each user should satisfy their own needs to the accuracy of the information prior to entering into any contracts or agreements especially in respect to verifying the identity of the person you are aiming to form an agreement with and who you intend to send or receive money. We also recommend all properties are viewed by the relevant parties prior to any agreement being formed.

Any material or content we supply is for information purposes only, whether this be on our site or on social media and in no way does it constitute as legal advice.  

 

USE OF THE SERVICE

Although we provide a platform for our users (which include tenants/ buyers and landlords/ sellers) in order to bring together both parties with reference to the rental or sale of a property; we cannot provide any guarantee towards the information supplied on our sites.

As per our terms of advertising a property owners property on our site, we may also select property listings from the free advert listings at our discretion in order to erect an advertising board at the property. This will solely be done at our discretion. For property owners who do not agree with us erecting an advertising board to their property must inform us in writing.

Before entering into any contract, agreement or transactions all individuals agree to take sole responsibility for any agreement they make and that they agree to take relevant steps in order to satisfy themselves to the accuracy of all the information and the integrity of the individuals.

In order to help landlords make a more informed decision when selecting a potential tenant; we may offer landlords a tenant referencing service via our partners at a cost. Although this service is designed to help landlords, we cannot guarantee any potential tenant or the information supplied by them.

It is important to understand that although we are committed to offering all our users a service where they are fully satisfied, we do not provide a refund on paid services such as a property listing or a tenant referencing service once it has been paid for by a user. And by purchasing one of these services you agree and understand that a refund will not be provided.

As per our sites security and maintenance we reserve the right to cancel user accounts which we deem as inactive or unconfirmed or to edit or remove listing from our site.

INTERACTIVE MAP

One of the features of our site is the interactive map and the method in which the properties are displayed via our site. As a result of listing the property, the property may be displayed on our interactive map.

For the maps of cities which we have already developed the property listings will be displayed as normal via the city map, however for the city maps which have not been developed the properties will not be displayed via our interactive map but instead via either a third party map (which may or may not be interactive) or in a list format.

Although we aim for our interactive maps and listings to be as accurate as possible, unfortunately we cannot always guarantee the properties has been displayed in the correct area or postcode and therefore you agree to not hold us liable for the listings or the possible damages related to the listing and accept the responsibility in checking the areas or postcodes in order to check their accuracy before furthering you intentions for the property. 

  

FAIR USE POLICY

We reserve the right to remove any listing if we consider it to be abusing our system if we feel it may protect our users. Reasons we may do so include but are not limited to; preventing spam, limit the harvesting of data of property owners/ representatives and/ or potential tenants, and to increase the accuracy of listings on our site if we feel the listing does not depict a true representation of the property.     

We also reserve the right to remove or limit listings from users if we feel they are in breach of our terms or if the set time period of 1 month has elapsed since the advert was originally published.

 

HOLDING DEPOSITS

By selecting the “Book Now” option for a property listing we will require the potential tenant to pay a holding deposit. This holding deposit varies from property to property but it is equivalent to one week’s rent of the selected property.

Once the holding deposit is received the property listing will become inactive for a period of 7 days or a period pre-set by the owner. And in between this period the tenant’s needs to submit his/her application for the property and the property will not be displayed in any searches.

The landlord/ agent are within his/her rights in accepting the tenant’s application or to request/ obtain references and/ or meet the potential tenant (if required). Tenant referencing will need to be carried out via us and any fees/ expenses will need to be paid by the potential tenant via their holding deposit.

By paying the holding deposit the potential tenant agrees to take on the property to rent and intends to move in within the timeline pre-set by the landlord/ agent (also listed in the property listing details)

If the tenant’s application is unsuccessful or if their referencing is unsatisfactory then 50% of the holding deposit will be returned.

If a tenant abandons his/ her application or if they cancel their booking of the property then their holding deposit will not be returned.

If the landlord rejects the application them a full refund will be given back to the potential tenant.

If the application is successful, the holding deposit will be used as part payment of the total amount owed and will be deducted from the overall amount.

 

DOCUMENTS INCLUDING TENANCY AGREEMENTS

That you understand our relation to all documents including tenancy agreements completed via our services is merely of a third party referral organisation which is offering a platform for related parties to use and therefore you understand and accept that you are solely responsible for any agreements you enter.

You also understand and accept that it is your sole responsibility to understand all the content of the documents, to perform all the relevant checks of the individuals you are entering into a contract with and that you are aware of all the associated risks.

You agree to not hold us liable for any direct or indirect damages of any sort related to the documents, the rental of the property or the signatory parties involved.  

 

DEPOSITS AND RENT PAYMENTS

In the event a tenancy agreement is created via our services, the tenant will be required to make the 1st scheduled payment to us, in order for the payment to be held by us and to be processed on behalf of both tenant(s) and landlord.

Both parties agree for us to hold the monies on their behalf acting as an unbiased intermediary. Monies will be held until the tenant has received the keys and moved into the property (which should be the date listed as the start date on the tenancy agreement), and up to a period of no more than 10 working days from this time. The landlord will be paid all monies minus any outstanding fees where applicable.

The first scheduled payment may include a deposit and if it does then we will register the deposit on behalf of the landlord if they request us to do so. Otherwise it will be sent directly to the landlord and the landlord agrees to register the deposit with an authorised deposit protection scheme within 30 days.

All rents after the first scheduled payment should be paid to the landlord in accordance to the tenancy agreement.

We operate this as a service where landlords can request we receive the initial scheduled payments from the tenants. By using this service both parties agree they will not hold us (including our employees, directors, affiliates, agents or sub-contractors) responsible (directly or indirectly) to you or to any third party in contract, tort, negligence, damages or losses incurred or suffered as a result of using this service
