What is the process for letting a property with Digs Swansea?

At Digs Swansea, we aim to make the process of finding and securing your student accommodation as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the journey of letting a student property with us for the 2025/26 Academic Year.

Step 1: Explore Our Properties

Start by browsing through our extensive range of student properties on our website. Take note of the ones that catch your eye. When you’ve shortlisted your favorites, email us to book in your viewings. Seeing the properties in person will give you a better feel of the place and help you make an informed decision.

Step 2: Notify Us of Your Choice

After attending the viewings and selecting the property that suits you best, notify us via email that you wish to proceed. This step ensures that your preferred property is reserved for you and initiates the formal application process.

Step 3: Complete the Property Application

We will send out a property application form to each person who will be living in the property. It’s important that all prospective tenants complete and return these forms promptly to avoid any delays.

Step 4: Tenancy Agreement Creation

Once we receive all the completed application forms, one of our experienced Lettings Managers will create a tenancy agreement. This document outlines the terms and conditions of your tenancy.

Step 5: Review the Tenancy Agreement

We will email the tenancy agreement to you for review. Take the time to read through it carefully. If you have any questions or concerns about the terms, our Lettings Managers are available to provide clarification and ensure you are comfortable with the agreement.

Step 6: Sign the Tenancy Agreement

If you are satisfied with the tenancy agreement, you can proceed to sign it. This officially secures the property for you and your housemates for the next academic year.

Step 7: Arrange for the Deposit

After signing the agreement, a deposit equivalent to five weeks' rent is required. Our accounts team will reach out to you to arrange the payment. This deposit is held securely and is refundable at the end of your tenancy, subject to the terms outlined in the agreement.

Step 8: Guarantor Form Completion

The next step is to have your guarantor fill in the guarantor form. A guarantor, usually a parent or guardian, is someone who agrees to cover your rent if you are unable to pay. This form is a standard requirement to ensure financial security for the tenancy.

Step 9: Move In!

Once all the previous steps are completed – from the signing of the tenancy agreement and payment of the deposit to the submission of the guarantor form – your property is ready for the next academic year and you can prepare for an exciting academic year in your new home.
