Frequently Asked Questions
We will ask for your address history for the last three years and complete a credit check on each individual tenant. We will also require a reference from your existing Landlord or Letting Agent (if you are currently renting) as well as a written reference from your employer. If you are self-employed, we will ask for an accountant’s reference and most recent set of submitted accounts.
The lease you sign will be an Assured Shorthold, which means that you can stay in the property for the period of the lease (provided you meet all the obligations of the lease). If the landlord wishes to end the tenancy you will be given two months’ notice to quit the premises.
We have an obligation to conduct regular inspections of all tenanted accommodation. This is to ensure the property is not in need of repair, that you are looking after the property and discuss any problems you may be experiencing. You will be given notification when an inspection is due to be conducted.
In the event of maintenance being required please telephone us at the earliest possible time in order to minimise any problem that could subsequently arise. Trades persons will be alerted by the Agent and dependent upon the nature and urgency of the task will respond accordingly. Simple precautionary procedures should then be taken by the tenant to prevent any additional problem arising e.g. turn off water at the stopcock if necessary, isolate electric or gas supplies at the mains where required.
You cannot have any pets unless we have permission from the landlord/ourselves in writing. You must consult us prior to obtaining a pet and submit a written request to have a pet stating age/type/breed.
YES! You should consider taking out contents insurance to cover accidental damage to the Landlord’s contents, buildings, fixtures and fittings. The landlord is responsible for insuring the building.
The Deposit normally equates to 5 weeks rent and will be held throughout the tenancy in a government approved deposit scheme and will be returned at the end of the tenancy subject to the property being left in a good condition without any claim for potential damages beyond fair wear and tear.
As a tenant you are responsible for ensuring the rent is paid in full and on time. We have facilities to enable you to establish a standing order which will mean payments are paid directly from your bank to our designated account. You will need to cancel the standing order before leaving the property.
Utility bills, including Council Tax is your responsibility unless stated otherwise in the tenancy agreement. You will need to choose your supplier upon moving in and ensure accounts are closed when you vacate.
Once the Landlord has agreed to accept your application (subject to references and contract) we will ask for a holding deposit equating to one week’s rent. Upon successfully passing the referencing stage of the application, the holding deposit paid will count towards the total balance of rent and deposit owed before the tenancy start date. You risk losing your deposit in the event you provide inaccurate or misleading information on your application, fail a right to rent check, do not all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement or unilaterally withdraw your application.

Amazing Team of ladies. Helped me sell my dad's property. I didn't really know anything about selling, which was very stressful but they were there every step of the way for me. Explaining legal stuff I didn't understand, helping with letters and forms to fill out and what comes next. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them. Recommend them 100%. Thanks Ladies.

We honestly can't thank Right At Home Estate Agents enough for everything they've done for us. From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful, supportive and always available whenever we needed them.
Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond throughout the entire process to make everything as smooth and stress free as possible.
It's rare to find people who genuinely care about their customers, but that's exactly how we felt with Right At Home. We're truly grateful for all their help, patience and support, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for everything.

Right At Home Estate Agents, wow where do I start. They had my home sale agreed in 4 days of being on the market. Such a professional team and with updates via Whatsapp makes them the best in my experience of previous agents on past properties I've sold.

Review
We have now completed on the sell of our house and we were always going to give Right at Home a glowing review as they are by far the best estate agents in Exeter. Firstly there are not enough words to express our thanks to this amazing team, their communication is outstanding from start to finish, they would always update us on the progress of our house sale whenever there was an update to share and any questions we had throughout were always answered in a friendly and timely manner. All staff were kind and professional throughout and there was not anything that was too much trouble or not worth the phone call to ask them, they were always on hand to help us in any way they could, even out of hours they were available to support us when needed. We cannot recommend Right at Home estate agents enough.
