Our procedure is very straight forward

Our office is located on the Finchley road which enables thousands of commuters a week to see our eye catching window display.
Our policy is to accompany all viewings
Once a satisfactory offer is made we would take a holding deposit (subject to references). Once this offer has been accepted, a full in-depth reference check will then be carried out before any prospective tenants move into a property. Once Millennium residential is satisfied with all references, we will then forward them on to the landlord for their final approval.
Before a tenant moves into a property, Millennium residential will collect a five weeks dilapidation deposit, One month rent in advance and a full inventory check-in on the property will be prepared by an independent clerk.
It is compulsory that all rented properties must have an EPC and an up to date gas safe certificate. If this has not already been carried out Millennium residential will organize this for you.
Deposit
