Tenancy Viewings
If we hold the keys, viewings can be arranged at short notice. Otherwise, we’ll coordinate with the landlord or current tenants to find a time that suits you. Due to high demand in areas like Kesgrave and Ravenswood, early enquiries are advised.
How to Apply for a Property in Suffolk
To secure a property, each adult tenant must complete an Application Form, supply photo ID (passport, driving licence), and two proofs of current address (e.g., bank statement or utility bill). A Holding Deposit equal to one week’s rent is required, which will be deducted from the first month’s rent once referencing is complete.
Note: There are no tenancy application fees with Belvoir Ipswich.
Tenant Referencing
We conduct professional referencing checks, which include:
- Employment confirmation
- Previous landlord reference
- Credit history check
- Electoral roll search
This ensures landlords have confidence in the tenancy, and tenants benefit from a smooth approval process.
Move-In Process
When your references are approved:
- The first month’s rent and deposit (equivalent to one month’s rent) are due in full
- Payments must be made in cleared funds on the day the tenancy agreement is signed
Tenancy Deposits
A security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent is collected to cover potential damages, breakages or deductions.
Your deposit is securely held with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) and is returned within 14 days of the tenancy ending, provided the property is left in satisfactory condition.
Property Inspections (Dependant on the Landlord Service Level)
To ensure properties are well-maintained and that tenants are comfortable, we conduct:
- A first inspection after one month
- Follow-up inspections every four months
- Inspection reports are shared with the landlord
Tenants’ Insurance
Most general contents insurance policies don’t cover accidental damage to landlord-owned items. To avoid losing your deposit, we recommend our exclusive tenant insurance, which offers:
- Accidental damage cover
- Excellent rates
- Peace of mind during your tenancy
- Comprehensive protection designed for renters in Ipswich and the wider Suffolk region
Whether you’re looking to rent in central Ipswich, the vibrant community of Ravenswood, the family-friendly streets of Kesgrave, the growing hub of Martlesham, or the charming town of Woodbridge, Belvoir Ipswich is here to help every step of the way.
