You will be required to book a Sign in Appointment. All keys will be given to the first tenant moving in.

4 WEEKS NOTICE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL SIGN IN APPOINTMENTS. It is my suggestion if you or any group member wishes to move into the property on the 1st July that you book your appointment sooner rather than later as appointments throughout the first week in July go very very quickly and I have limited appointment slots.

These appointments will last approximately 2 hours. ALL SETS OF KEYS WILL BE HANDED OVER AT THIS MEETING. You will then be responsible for the distribution of keys to all group members.

A full inventory & Welcome pack with all necessary documents will be given at your Sign in Appointment. You will be given 2 weeks to read, digest, make comments, sign and return the Inventory and return to the office.

Failure to return within the said time frame will confirm your acceptance of the Inventory as it stands.
