At Black Bear Lettings, we know moving house can be an exciting but stressful time. We therefore try and make the process as quick and easy as possible.


The whole process normally takes less than a week. Your contract will typically be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, and you will sign an agreement for a minimum of 6 months. We will be happy to provide you with a Tenancy Agreement in advance for you to read through.

Your Deposit will be registered with a Government approved protection scheme – (normally Tenants Deposit Solutions www.mydeposits.co.uk) – which safeguards and resolves any disputes that arise when you move out.

Before handing the keys over, we will also quickly discuss insurance policies designed for tenants that may interest you. The cover can cost as little as £9 a month and it protects the landlord's fixtures and fittings (important when considering your deposit).
