The Tenant Referencing Agency will require ID to be uploaded, and they will process your application, including obtaining references from your employer and current landlord if applicable. They will also check your credit history. The time this process takes can vary from a day or two to a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly your employer and landlord respond. In some cases they will send you an HMRC link to confirm earnings rather than waiting for confirmation of earnings from your employer But either way we can assure you they will process your application as quickly as possible so that we can give you the keys to your new home.
We will help you and clarify things during this whole process.
For your convenience we are able to carry out viewings at flexible times as long as it’s OK with all parties.
Following the ban on Tenancy Fees on 1st June 2019 there are now only the following PERMITTED PAYMENTS allowed:
-
Holding Deposit
This is equal to one weeks rent and must be paid to reserve a property. In the event of withholding information regarding adverse credit or similar reasons to decline the tenancy this is non refundable.
An example of the holding deposit is if the monthly rent is £650 the holding deposit it would be £150 (£650 x 12 months, divided by 52 weeks)
-
Tenancy Deposit
This is equal to five weeks rent where the total annual rent is less than £50,000 or six weeks rent where the annual rent amount is above or more.
An example of the tenancy deposit is if the monthly rent is £650 the tenancy deposit it would be £750, but you would have already paid the £150 holding deposit leaving a balance when you pick of the keys of £600
-
In Tenancy Agreement Changes
If tenants wish to make any changes to their tenancy agreement which alters the obligations of the current tenancy agreement a charge of £50 + VAT will be payable.

Tenant testimonials
Pauline was very friendly and understanding of my situation. Would definitely recommend Amethyst.
Parkhouse
I would recommend every one to use Amethyst Sales and Letting Agents for their rental. I have been tenants with them 9 years. Any problems they resolve straightaway. No issues in getting my deposit back even after 9 years. Any problem, management was always there for me. I would give them more than 5 stars if had that option.
Pauline trusted me 9 years back when others were refusing me for renting. Request to management, please keep up the good work for the community. Salute. And finally a massive thank you from my family and me.

Pauline and Barry were both very helpful throughout my time renting, my landlord was really great too. Only moved out due to purchasing my first home but will definitely recommend to anyone I know looking to rent in Rugby. Thanks guys and all the best.

Amethyst really have restored my faith in letting agents! I’ve had some bad experiences but I’ve been a tenant with amethyst for over 2 years now and Pauline and Barry (and all the other staff) have been so welcoming and helpful throughout.
If there’s an issue it gets sorted with no blame games. If there’s confusion or misunderstanding, they communicate in a professional and understanding way and always work for the best interests of both the land lord and the tenant. I recently had a change of landlord with the house being sold and they were very conscious of me and my situation throughout the process which went smoothly and I was barely affected.
They make me feel like a valued tenant. A lovely family business they have.
