Renewal Frequently Asked Questions

Renewals FAQ


If you have been contacted by our office regarding a renewal of your AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy) Agreement, you may find the following Frequently Asked Questions useful.




Please ensure you have read the below before contacting the office with any questions:


Why do we invite you to renew?
It is generally believed by both Landlords and Tenants alike that it is better to know that for a definitive period of time, the property is safe from notice from either side. This helps with financial planning for both parties as well as helps to know you do not need to be house hunting for a period of time.

Why can't I go Periodic?
It is not Belvoir's policy to allow periodic tenancies due to the reason laid out above.

What does this fee cover?
The fee covers the necessary admin associated with communicating with both parties as well as the drawing up and licencing of a new AST agreement.

My neighbour rented through Swattons and they are not getting the same correspondence or options?
Before Belvoir took over the Swattons portfolio in June 2017, agreements and policies with their legacy tenancies were individual and will run until the conclusion of the existing tenancy.


Please contact our renewals administrator Courtney Dugdale by emailing courtney.dugdale@belvoirandover.com to notify how you would like to proceed.
