Frequently Asked Questions

You have seen the flat for you, now how do you secure it?

Once you have seen the flat for you, you must come back to the office and put down a £250 administration fee (cash or cheque). We will then cease the marketing of the property and begin processing your application. You then decide on your move-in date. This can be done 10am - 4pm Monday to Friday. The move in date may be 7 to 10 days from the day you put the fee down at the earliest, until 4 weeks away, at the latest.

When can I get the keys?

When you’re paying the fee you will receive application forms, as Alba Residential require references for all tenants before they move in to a property. The referencing process takes seven - ten working days. Requested references include Landlord reference and your full-time Employer’s reference.

What if I’m a student? Or working part-time?

In these cases, or if you have been working full time for your current employer for less than six months, you will need to provide a guarantor. This is someone who will guarantee your rent for the duration of your lease. If you cannot supply a guarantor, Alba Residential (St Andrews) will require you to pay six months rent upfront.

Maintenance to Report?

If you have any maintenance issues to report on your property please email us at , and include the following information: Property Address, description of problem/s please include any make models of appliances, an up to date contact number and can we have access with keys or would you prefer to be present.
