Holding Deposit: 1 week’s rent, for example a property priced £800pcm the one week holding fee would be £184.61. This would be offset against the future payment of a security deposit. This Holding deposit can legally be retained if the tenant provides false or misleading information, if they fail a Right to Rent Check, if the tenants(s) withdraw from the proposed agreement ( decide not to let for whatever reason) or fail to take all reasonable steps to enter an agreement ( ie: responding to reasonable requests for information required to progress the agreement) when the agent has done so.
Deposit: Capped at 5 week’s rent where the annual rent is less than £50,000 or six weeks rent where the total annual rent is £50,000 or above.
For English properties:
Payment of interest for the late payment of rent at a rate of 3% above England Base Rate
Any other permitted payments, not included above, for breaches of contract or under the relevant legislation including contractual damages.
