An Assured Tenancy offers you the benefit of long-term security, with added flexibility. As this is a periodic, "no fixed term" agreement, should you wish to move, you can serve the landlord with two month’s notice.

You can rent at Ripon and Worcester. Please check with the Sales Teams for more information.

The Red House in Ripon: ERL (Red House Ripon) Limited.

Mount Battenhall in Worcester: ERL (Worcester) Limited.

A Holding Deposit of £500 is payable to secure your chosen apartment and is offset against your first month’s payment.

A Tenancy Deposit equivalent to one month’s rent is also payable on commencement of the tenancy. The Tenancy Deposit will be held in a Government-approved deposit protection scheme.

Yes. We want to offer you as much flexibility as possible. That’s why we’ve introduced our Rent to Buy option, available within the first 12 months of the tenancy.

Should you desire to purchase an alternative apartment at The Red House/Mount Battenhall, purchase price and/or incentive would be negotiated at this stage, and the timescale aligned with the Rent to Buy time span of 12-months.

(Please note that additional charges apply to meals and drinks in the restaurant and bar.)

We understand how important a pet can be, so you are welcome to bring a well-behaved pet to live with you in your property. There are certain terms and conditions which our Sales Teams are on hand to explain, and we may require the property’s carpets to be cleaned and/or any damage caused by your pet(s) made good at the end of the tenancy.

There is non-allocated parking available on a first-come, first-served basis, and a maximum of one car allowed per property. No trailers, camper vans or caravans are allowed to be parked in the car park.

Your family and friends are more than welcome to visit for a short stay with you in your home. Most villages also have a guest suite with an en-suite bathroom, TV, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. There is a small nightly charge for this.

Our villages are staffed 24 hours a day. Tunstall have installed the call systems and extra alarms can be purchased if required.

The management and maintenance of the internal and exterior of the property is the responsibility of the landlord. Tenants are not permitted to paint, add hanging baskets, add satellite dishes, etc, to the exterior of the property.

However, if you want to carry out any internal changes and/or decoration of your home, this may be allowed, subject to certain conditions and written permission from the landlord.

We have relationships with local CQC-registered care providers, who will be happy to come and visit you and assess your needs. However, you are free to use any agency you wish. Details can be obtained from the staff.

The cost of personal or domiciliary care is not covered by the rent and any arrangements for such care are the subject of separate agreements between the provider and the recipient. No company or person connected with ERL receives any incentive or commission from any care provider we may recommend.

The rent is set at the start of the tenancy and will be subject to an annual rent review on the date specified in your tenancy agreement. Such review will comply with legislation in force at the relevant time determining the level of rent we may charge, but we expect it to be indexed to movement in Relevant Price Index.

Yes. To ensure this option is right for you and affordable in the longer-term you will be given access to an Independent Financial Advisor; standard affordability and credit checks will also be required.

You will have to pay for your electricity, gas, water, broadband, telephone, Council Tax and TV license.

You may give two months' notice at any time.

It’s important that the housing decision you take is suitable for your personal and financial circumstances. We want you to enjoy your new home and not have worries over affordability. Your rent is a contractual agreement between you and your landlord. If you do fall behind with your payments, your landlord will contact you to arrange payment or agree a payment plan to suit the circumstances.

At the end of your tenancy, any unpaid rent, costs for remedial works or damages not covered by the deposit held by Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), will be subject to interest calculated on a day-to-day basis at the annual rate of 4% above the Bank of England Base Rate for monies due to the Landlord or Management Company that remain unpaid at the end of the notice period. This will not be levied until the outstanding rent or accrued costs are more than 14 days in arrears.
