What will we do?

  • We will complete pre-eligibility checks on all Sanctuary Tenant(s). If they pass the checks, we will send a mutual exchange Application form to any external tenant(s) involved in the exchange so we can start to process your request.
  • We will communicate via email the date of your home visit and projected dates for the gas and electricity checks to our property and the account management call and sign-up appointment for the incoming tenant.
  • If the exchange involves more than one landlord, we will request and supply tenancy references.  It is important to note any unsatisfactory reference could prevent an exchange
  • At the home visit we will complete an inspection of the property to identify any repairs or item’s you wish to gift to the incoming tenant.
  • If repairs are established as your responsibility, we will arrange a second inspection to check the repairs are completed. Any repairs not completed, could result in a recharge, a change to the projected dates for the gas & electricity check, account management call and sign- up appointment or the exchange not taking place.
  • Once we have received all application forms, supporting evidence, satisfactory references and completed satisfactory home visit(s). You will receive confirmation via email if consent to exchange has been granted. 
  • If we refuse your request, we will let you know why and you will be able to ask for a review of the decision.
