Looking for a property to rent?
Camden Management Property Lettings Limited offer properties to rent in Seaham, Houghton le Spring, Sunderland, Hetton le Hole, Thornley and Peterlee. We can either act as the landlord’s managing agent or find a suitable tenant for the landlord to then manage the property themselves.
All properties for rent will be displayed on this website.
We let and manage furnished and unfurnished flats and houses. Please click on ‘Properties’ above to view a list of available properties, although our stock changes daily and you should contact us for current availability or to register your requirements. Please note that for your safety and peace of mind:
• All of our managed properties are Gas Safe certificated, and inspected for electrical safety, and furniture fire safety
Finding a property
The first step is to contact us to provide brief details about yourself and about the accommodation you require. We then search our database for suitable properties for you to view. If not urgent, we log your details so that we can contact you as suitable properties become available. It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move, as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.
Once a tenant finds a property which they would like to rent we then start the application procedure.
Application process
1. Complete the application forms and provide the proof of identity, references, bank statements, wage slips, any other information requested.
2. Pay the application fee of £100
For any reason the tenant’s application is declined £50 will then be returned. If the proposing tenant’s application is approved by us and the tenant then decides not to rent the property then all the application fee will retained by Camden Management & Property Lettings Limited.
Viewings
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
Reserving the property
Once you have decided on a property, you will need to reserve it by paying a ‘holding deposit’, usually equivalent to two weeks’ rent. Assuming that the tenancy goes ahead, this will be deducted from the monies due before you move in. If the landlord declines to grant the tenancy, it will be refunded. However the deposit will be forfeit if you decide not to proceed for any reason, or if you fail to provide complete and accurate information in your application.
References
As a minimum we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or college), and a previous or current landlord. We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. In addition a credit check will be undertaken. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.
Rents
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rents are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account or your landlord’s bank account.
The tenant will be required to pay up front
1. 1 Months rent
2. A security deposit/bond to the full amount of 1 month’s rent
Camden Management Property Lettings forward all deposits/bonds on to a licenced Tenancy Deposit Scheme (D.P.S)
Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month’s rental will normally be required. All Tenancy Deposits (bonds) are held in accordance with The Housing (Tenancy Deposit Schemes) Order 2007. The deposit is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.
Fees
We charge a modest fee per applicant to cover administration and referencing costs.
