Crofters Property Management

A dilapidation deposit is payable on all tenancies. This amount of money is held either by ourselves or the landlord throughout the tenancy. This deposit may be used at the end of the tenancy to effect any repairs, maintenance and or cleaning required to bring the property back to the condition it was in at the commencement of the tenancy. We regret that interest is not payable on deposits.

The amount of deposit required will vary between:

• 1 month's rent plus £100.00 and
• 6 Weeks rent

Dependant upon the requirements of the individual landlord. The actual amount required is printed on our property details.

It is usual that Crofters will hold the dilapidation deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions of The Tenancy Deposit Scheme. Crofters are members of 'The Dispute Service' who would act as mediators in the event of any dispute between the Landlord and Tenant with regard to Dilapidations. There are occasions whereby the landlord will be holding the deposit, you will be advised if this is the case. Landlords also need to be registered on the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.

As members of the National Association of Estate Agents our accounts are bonded a Client Money Protection Scheme which covers the deposit against any act of dishonesty by Crofters which means any money's held by Crofters are 100% safe.

Your deposit will be refunded with the minimum of delay usually within 5 working days of you vacating the property. Please note that the time scale my increase if it is necessary to arrange for quotations/estimates due to damage caused to the property during your tenancy and an admnistration charge of £50.00 + vat will be applied.
