Frequently Asked Questions

We will ask for your address history for the last three years and complete a credit check on each individual tenant. We will also require a reference from your existing Landlord or Letting Agent (if you are currently renting) as well as a written reference from your employer. If you are self-employed, we will ask for an accountant’s reference and most recent set of submitted accounts.

The market will determine what the seller is prepared to pay for your property. Our job is to help ensure your property is valued accurately by our agents, whose full focus is to understand local market values and to back up their valuation with real evidence. It’s understandably tempting to instruct the agent who gives the highest valuation, however a recent report from Zoopla showed that the original asking price for a third of properties on the market had to be reduced by £25,000 on average before selling. Every property will sell if it’s presented, marketed and most importantly priced correctly. Our property experts are equipped with the latest valuation tools, having more time to focus on property market levels, thereby meaning that the most accurate, evidence based valuations can be provided. Should you disagree with our valuation, or have been persuaded by another agent that it should be higher, then we can test the market for you, however in all cases we will do our utmost to sell at the highest price possible.

We have an obligation to conduct regular inspections of all tenanted accommodation. This is to ensure the property is not in need of repair, that you are looking after the property and discuss any problems you may be experiencing. You will be given notification when an inspection is due to be conducted.

In the event of maintenance being required please telephone us at the earliest possible time in order to minimise any problem that could subsequently arise. Trades persons will be alerted by the Agent and dependent upon the nature and urgency of the task will respond accordingly. Simple precautionary procedures should then be taken by the tenant to prevent any additional problem arising e.g. turn off water at the stopcock if necessary, isolate electric or gas supplies at the mains where required.

You cannot have any pets unless we have permission from the landlord/ourselves in writing. You must consult us prior to obtaining a pet and submit a written request to have a pet stating age/type/breed.

YES! You should consider taking out contents insurance to cover accidental damage to the Landlord’s contents, buildings, fixtures and fittings. The landlord is responsible for insuring the building.

The Deposit normally equates to 5 weeks rent and will be held throughout the tenancy in a government approved deposit scheme and will be returned at the end of the tenancy subject to the property being left in a good condition without any claim for potential damages beyond fair wear and tear.

As a tenant you are responsible for ensuring the rent is paid in full and on time. We have facilities to enable you to establish a standing order which will mean payments are paid directly from your bank to our designated account.   You will need to cancel the standing order before leaving the property. 

Utility bills, including Council Tax is your responsibility unless stated otherwise in the tenancy agreement. You will need to choose your supplier upon moving in and ensure accounts are closed when you vacate.

Once the Landlord has agreed to accept your application (subject to references and contract) we will ask for a holding deposit equating to one week’s rent. Upon successfully passing the referencing stage of the application, the holding deposit paid will count towards the total balance of rent and deposit owed before the tenancy start date. You risk losing your deposit in the event you provide inaccurate or misleading information on your application, fail a right to rent check, do not all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement or unilaterally withdraw your application.

What Our Customers Are saying

Elliott Quinn were great to work with on our very first house purchase. We mainly dealt with Lois who was friendly, efficient and communicated well with us throughout the whole process and helped us move into our new home just in time for Christmas. Thank you Lois and Matt - we wish you all the success as the business grows and would recommend you to others! Thank you for our lovely gift on the day we moved in too - it's little touches like this that we'll always remember.

Jade McKenna

Lois has been absolutely brilliant through the whole process. We've had ups and downs with our purchase but they were always on hand to guide us through and support our decision making. Even though moving house was extremely stressful Lois made it a lot easier when dealing with solicitors and other estate agents. Thank you so much to all at Elliott Quinn estate agents for dealing with our sale.

Julie French

I have just secured my new property through Elliott Quinn Estates and I'm more then overwhelmed with the property and the high standard and professional service I received while things were being possessed.

Kimberly Frantz

Matt and particularly Lois could not have been more helpful. They went above and beyond to work around me and my schedule and make the whole process of renting my house as pain free as possible. They also provided sound advice at every stage and helped to arrange the work I wanted done on the property prior to renting. I would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone. They are completely transparent and there are no hidden costs waiting around the corner.
