  • Do not make plans to move until you have received written permission.
  • If you move without written permission we will ask you to move back.
  • We will write to you within 42 days after receiving both applications with a decision.
  • You will need to arrange for someone to witness the signing of the legal documents. You will need to provide their name, address and email address and they will need to sign to say they have witnessed the deeds being signed.
  • We strongly advise that you visit the property you are exchanging into to check the property condition for yourself. Neither Guinness or another landlord will take responsibility for any tenant repairs outstanding or rubbish and belongings left at the property. We will only complete repairs which are the landlords responsibility.
What type of tenancy will you get?
The tenancy you will get at your new home will depend on the type of tenancies each exchange partner has. We will discuss this with you during the application process. If you are exchanging with someone who has a tenancy with a different landlord, you will need to discuss what type of tenancy you will get with your new landlord.

Is your rent account in credit?
If you are in rent arrears we may approve the exchange on condition the rent arrears are paid before the exchange goes ahead. If you have been served a legal notice regarding rent arrears we may refuse the exchange.

Rent in advance
You must pay a minimum of one week’s rent plus one week’s rent in advance before the exchange takes place. In some cases, it may be a monthly rent in which case you must pay a minimum of one month’s rent in advance. We will tell you more about this once we have received your application.

Property condition
We will arrange a virtual property condition check using your mobile phone or a tablet. If you do not have access to either of these, we will arrange a home visit for the check to take place. We will only approve
a mutual exchange if there are no outstanding repairs that have been identified as the landlord’s or the tenant’s responsibility. If we find that some repairs need to be carried out we will put the exchange on hold
until they are completed.

A landlord will only be responsible for the repairs which are set out in the tenancy agreement. Any redecorating required, loft or rubbish clearance, overgrown garden, tenant damage etc will be the
responsibility of the incoming tenant if it has not been dealt with by the outgoing tenant. Please speak to us if you’re unsure about whose responsibility any issues are.

You must make sure the property you’re moving into doesn’t have any outstanding repairs that are the tenant’s responsibility. If these are not resolved before the exchange you may be responsible for
completing them after you move in.

Question Title

* 79. Rental Exchange is a way to strengthen your credit report without you needing to take on new credit. The scheme enables us to share details about the rent you pay to Guinness, with Experian on a monthly basis which is then included in your credit report. This could mean if you pay your rent on time it could have a positive impact on your credit report, or if you do not pay the correct amount of rent regularly and on time it could have a negative impact on your credit report.

If you (and/or the joint tenant if applicable) do not wish to be enrolled onto the rental exchange scheme please tick below to opt out.
