Once received along with sufficient evidence of suitability the property will be reserved. A deadline of 15 calendar days is given once the Holding Deposit is received to sign contract securing the tenancy unless an "extension" date is agreed in writing by the tenant and accepted by the landlord

If we intend to retain the holding deposit, we will advise you in writing the reason for this within 7 days of deciding not to enter an agreement. The holding deposit can be used to offset against the tenancy deposit or rent in advance.

The Holding Deposit will be refunded to the tenant within 7 days:

1. If the landlord withdraws or the deadline agreement is not met by the landlord.
2. If an agreement is not reached before the Deadline and the tenant is not at fault.
