Lettings - Tenants
read moreHolding Deposit

In order to reserve a property whilst the referencing process is completed and preparation for a tenancy agreement is undertaken, a holding deposit equivalent to one weeks rent will be payable by the prospective tenant.

If the tenancy proceeds, the holding deposit will be credited to the tenants rent account.

However, the holding deposit will be withheld if the tenant (or guarantor) fails a Right to Rent check, provides false or misleading information, or the tenant notifies the agent within 14 days that they have decided not to enter a tenancy agreement or if the tenant fails to make reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement.

Tenancy Deposit

A tenancy deposit equivalent to five weeks rent will be held by the landlord (or agent acting on behalf of the Landlord) as security during the tenancy and is reserved for any damages or defaults by the tenant.

The staff at Christopher Hodgson have been excellent. From the first meeting with Will, his professional approach and guidance has been invaluable. The Staff in branch who progress the sale were in regular contact chasing our solicitors and us if needed. An outstanding team of professionals who are a credit to the estate agency industry.

I live in the United States and had to take care of the sale of my elderly parents' home in Whitstable, from abroad. The Christopher Hodgson team were brilliant and assisted me with every aspect of the sale, including arranging cleaning, gardening, clearing and other services that needed to be accomplished prior to the sale and completion. They are extremely professional, responsive and friendly. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Excellent service at every stage from the Christopher Hodgson team. Joe Jezzard gave us an obviously correct (and well-evidenced) valuation and the team found us a buyer (at full asking price) within a short period. When that buyer (and later another) pulled out (no fault of ours or Christopher Hodgson), the team patiently dealt with the situation and we had another buyer within a short time. Jacqueline in sales progression could not have been more pleasant to deal with and was appropriately responsive.

They are not willing to reduce their standard commission to compete with other agents who try to undercut them - but their rate is completely fair and we respected the fact that they want to treat all their vendors the same. We also liked the fact that the team is not too big so it was easy to talk to somebody who was familiar with our sale. We are very glad we used them and would certainly choose to do so again.

We felt completely confident about letting Jacqueline and the team make all the key decisions for our sale. We are so glad we did! Potentially daunting setbacks were handled with aplomb. By far the least stressful house sale we've ever done. Thanks again Jacqueline. C and R

I would like to thank all of the staff who were more than professional throughout my sale process and went above and beyond during this stressful time. I would particularly like to thank Jackie who predominantly dealt with my sale but also all the other staff who were always ready to help if Jackie was unavailable. My calls were always answered and my queries looked into and responded to.

The team at Christopher Hodgson really did make this whole process a much less stressful experience for me, significantly more than any of the other professionals involved. A huge thank you to all of you

Christopher Hodgson have been fantastic in dealing with the sale of my property. Particularly Jacqui, who dealt with the progression of the sale, which wasn't the easiest at times. Jacqui went above and beyond in making it happen, offering first class customer service alongside remaining a high level of professionalism at all times. I can't recommend them highly enough. 5*!

The team at CH have been both professional and supportive throughout the process of selling my house. Their communication systems are excellent and they are always ready to assist in any way they can. Huge thanks to Will, Joey-Lee and Jacqueline as well as the rest of the team. I would fully recommend them and their services to others.

We have recently sold our property and bought a new property through Christopher Hodgson. We chose them for their longstanding reputation and expert knowledge of the local area. The Staff are professional, personable and extremely efficient. Jacqueline worked tirelessly to progress the sale and purchase through to exchange, keeping us informed every step of the way. We cannot recommend Christopher Hodgson highly enough.

Without doubt the most professional estate agents I have ever dealt with. Jackie kept me in touch with everything that was going on andI felt very comfortable every time we spoke to them. I wish all estate agents were like Christopher Hodgson. I will be recommending them to anyone that needs a sincere and excellent level of service.

Have purchased through lockdown and been extremely pleased with the level of communication. Also the team at Christopher Hodgson truly worked like a team. It didnt feel like there was any competition between negotiators and everyone was happy to help. Jacqueline the sales progressor was always very responsive. Would definitely recommend.

The team at Christopher Hodgson worked tremendously hard from the start, right the way through to exchange. Very professional service getting our house on the market. Will has a great understanding of the market and was really helpful in the initial stages. William was very professional producing brilliant photos and his video for the virtual tour was a great addition for advertising during COVID restrictions.

This all led to an asking price sale being agreed really quickly and since then the team has been proactive in progressing things. A particular thank you to Jacqueline chasing things and reassuring us at the end when there was difficulties with the chain above us. When you sell a house you want good proactive communication and top class professional service, both of which, the team at Christopher Hodgson do to the highest degree. 10 on 10!

Christopher Hodgson did an absolutely amazing job on managing our house purchase. We were in a tricky long chain and I honestly think it may have collapsed without our sales progressor, Jacqueline Bell. She was proactive, professional, very experienced, great at keeping us informed, gave us effective tips to help us resolve issues quickly, multitasked masterfully and was always calm. Excellent service.

Christopher Hodgson are the best estate agents we have ever worked with. We have bought a property and sold a property with them and they were excellent. Really professional, helpful, communicative and took their time to offer a personalised service. 100% would use them again.

We bought our home 13 years ago through Christopher Hodgson, and asked them to sell it for us when it came time to move agai 13 years later. They were incredibly professional from the initial valuation and marketing through to the final stages of sale. Charlie was great in the viewing period, keeping us informed on the viewings with clear and concise feedback. And Jacqui was enormously helpful in the later stages as we approached completion. I would not hesitate to recommend Christopher Hodgson. An excellent service.

We have used Christopher Hodgson for buying and selling our properties over the past few years. On each occasion we have found the team very consistent, professional & approachable. We all know that buying and selling a house is very stressful however, the team at Christopher Hodgson were always in control. Jacqui was amazing by providing us with regular updates and managing the whole process from start to finish. We would always recommend Christopher Hodgson as they are such a great team & provide a professional service.

The service I received from Christopher Hodgson was second to none. Jacqui, in particular, was fantastic. She dealt with all my queries professionally and efficiently even after I had moved in to my new home. I would definitely use them again and would recommend them for their trust worthiness, knowledge and excellent service from start to finish.

Christopher Hodgson sold my 3 bed house in Whitstable, it sold within 2 weeks, at full asking price. They have the usual things you should expect from a good estate agent: professional knowledgeable staff, impressive office, extensive marketing with lovely photos, but what was particularly impressive was the professionalism of their sales progression.

Once I accepted the offer they were on the ball consistently right through to exchange, this service was significantly better than every estate agent I have used in the past. I would fully recommend them to anyone selling, or indeed buying, a property.

We bought a house for which Christopher Hodgson was the agent and were incredibly impressed by their professionalism, efficiency, and pro-activity. Even though they were not working 'for us' they helped sort out issues with our own buyer when the agent we were selling through did not. They were available immediately on email and phone and we had one dedicated person - Jacqueline Bell - who was managing the process throughout.

She was personable, friendly and easily contactable and did all the chasing of various parties in the sale when issues came up - even though it was issues in our own sale that our own agent should have dealt with. She updated us by email as soon as there was any news and was by far the most helpful person in the whole process. Next time I would immediately go to Christopher Hodgson on the basis of this experience and would recommend them to anyone 100%.
