Houses, flats and apartments to rent in West Hampstead, London NW6

Our Letting Service

We aim to make sure that residential property letting maximises benefits to the landlord and tenant in a worry free relationship.

As an independent Agency we can provide the type of personal service that this warrants.

We treat every property as if it were our own home, by amongst many other things:-

• Matching suitable properties to tenants and vice- versa.

• Manoeuvre through complex legislation affecting property letting.

• Deal immediately with any unforeseeable events which always occur - before, during and after occupation.

• Make regular visits to check on the state of the property.

• Negotiate terms of tenancy, ensuring any special requirements (e.g. pets) are agreed by all parties prior to contracts being signed.

Above all, our service is based around one principle:-

• 'We treat our tenants as if it were ourselves renting the property.'

Complimentary Terms and Conditions

The following are complimentary to the terms and conditions as laid out in the Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and are not exhaustive. They do not take precedence over the Agreement itself and are meant only as a guide.

If you decide to change the property in any way (e.g erect shelves, paint the property or lay carpet) you must consult Paramount Properties . Similarly, if you decide you want to put a picture on the wall and need to insert a nail you will need to consult Paramount Properties. Any unauthorised changes may be rectified at the tenant's expense.

Please note that your deposit and one months rent in advance will be placed in our "Clients Call Account" and will not be accumulating interest.

If you decide to vacate the property one months notice is required on the 5th month of the expiry date of the 6th month assured shorthold tenancy agreement. In the event of the tenant wishing to terminate the agreement before the expiry date of the tenancy - deposits and/or months in advance rent will be retained.

On satisfactory completion of the tenancy the deposit will be returned one month after vacation of property, or as soon as proof is provided that all outstanding bills have been paid to date of vacation of property and providing that no rectifications to the property have to be made.

After inspection has been carried out by Paramount Properties - a second inspection will be carried out by the Landlord or Landlady who will agree the release of the rental deposit.

If any part of the rent is in arrears for more than 21 days whether formally demanded or not or there is any breach of the tenant's obligations under the lease the landlord may re-enter the premises and thereupon the tenancy created by this lease will determine, but without prejudice to any other rights and remedies of the landlord.

Rent Review

The landlord and Paramount Properties reserve the right to review the rental when a new agreement is to be raised. Paramount Properties will always ensure that the rent to be paid is a fair sum for both the landlord and tenant.

Council tax, electric, gas, telephone etc to be paid by the tenant exclusive of rents payable to Paramount Properties.

Should the accommodation become totally uninhabitable due to defect, the landlord is responsible for repair and for finding equivalent alternative accommodation for the tenant for up to but not more than one calendar month from the tenancy date. The tenant will be responsible for removal expenses.

Repossession by mortgagee

Should the property be repossessed by the mortgagee (building society or bank etc) due to the landlords mis demeanours, Paramount Properties will try to negotiate a reasonable length of time for the tenancy to continue and help find suitable alternative accommodation. (NB this is usually acceptable to mortgagees). Paramount Properties accept no responsibility to the tenant should this occur.

At the discretion of Paramount Properties the tenant may be asked to provide a surety for the rent.

It is the tenants responsibility to keep the property in a clean and reasonable state - including driveways, paths, gardens and out houses.

The tenants must ensure that the garden is orderly maintained and that the grass is cut regularly.

Please ensure that when having a bath or shower condensation is released by opening windows.

Any electrical appliances that the landlord leaves in the property will be the tenants responsibility to repair unless specifically agreed in advance by the landlord. Annual checks remain the responsibility of the landlord.

Carpet stains can be very costly to the tenant if not dealt with correctly (it may result in replacement of the carpets). Any stain of carpets should be notified to Paramount Properties immediately. Paramount Properties and the tenant will then agree the best approach to removing the stain.
