Check-in and check-out
Hunter & Bloomfield will be instructed by the landlord as to what arrangements are to be made for the inventory and check-in. Unless agreed otherwise, the tenant will be responsible for the cost of the check-in inventory ranging from £124.80 for a fully furnished studio to £250.80 for a fully furnished 5 bed, and the landlord will be liable for the cost of the check-out inventory.We advise you to make yourself available for the check-in and check-out.
Where Hunter & Bloomfield organise an end of tenancy inventory check-out, a minimum fee of £180 will be charged. Where a landlord organises this inspection independently of Hunter & Bloomfield, the charge may vary.
Property Management
At the start of the tenancy we will advise you of who is responsible for managing the property. This is not always Hunter & Bloomfield. Where we are not managing the property we cannot authorise any repairs or maintenance or guarantee the speed at which repairs will be carried out. Where we are managing the property, we may have to obtain the landlord’s consent before proceeding with a repair. Where we manage a property and hold keys, we can usually provide access to Hunter & Bloomfield’s contractors (with your permission). However, where we do not hold keys or the contractor is not willing to collect keys, it is your responsibility to provide access.
Insurance
It is your responsibility to insure your own belongings throughout the tenancy. Hunter and Bloomfield will not take any liability.
Utilities
You will be responsible for the payment of telephone, gas, water and electricity accounts at the property during your tenancy, as well as the council tax. It is your responsibility to notify the relevant companies and the local authority that you are moving into/out of the property. Where properties are managed by Hunter & Bloomfield we will normally set up all the accounts for you unless advised otherwise.
You are also responsible for ensuring that a valid television licence remains in place for the duration of the tenancy.
Utility companies will also always require the occupant to provide access for any visit.
