What is an Assured Tenancy?
Assured Tenancy means that you agree to rent the property for a minimum term of 12 months, but after that you can leave at any time as long as you give two months written notice. We can’t ask you to leave unless you have broken the terms of the agreement.
I want to rent. What checks do you carry out and what do I need to prepare?
We’ll ask you to complete a Rental Application Pack and an Income and Expenditure form to get the information we need to do standard background checks. You’ll be asked for proof of income, savings and/or pensions, along with copies of your last three months’ bank statements. You’ll be asked to provide identification documentation that complies with the latest Government Right to Rent regulations – our sales consultants will talk you through what you need.
Do I need to pay a reservation deposit?
Yes, you will need to pay a small refundable reservation deposit to reserve the property. You will also have to pay a security deposit equivalent to five weeks rent when you move in.
What do I have to pay before moving in?
Before you can move into your property, you will need to pay the first month’s rent together with your security deposit, minus the reservation deposit you’ve already paid.
The security deposit is equivalent to five weeks rent. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you know the exact amount you need to pay in plenty of time.
McCarthy Stone is part of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, membership number G10625. Download the Tenancy Deposit Scheme leaflet.

Living in Hatfield
The town of Hatfield easily provides you with all of life's little necessities - from a wide range of well-known supermarkets, independent shops and high street retailers - to a doctors' surgery, dental practice, post-office and banks. Everything you need is just a short walk away - including plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants. The welcoming Red Lion Pub is just a short stroll from the development and provides some great dining.
But there's far more to Hatfield than its many modern amenities. Old Hatfield - the area's original village - was left untouched by any post-war development and still remains a place full of old-world charm and character. The nearby Hatfield Hall is a magnificent Jacobean mansion with stunning ornamental gardens and splendid grounds. The Hall offers extensive tours of the house and gardens, and has many attractions including a child-friendly farm; a restaurant and café and regular annual community events.
If you'd rather enjoy some intense retail therapy, The Galleria Designer Outlet is only a short distance away (approx 1.7 miles) and has a massive variety of big-name brands and independent stores - as well as a huge selection of restaurants and cafes. Hatfield Train Station is only a few minutes walk from the proposed development and provides direct services to central London, reaching Finsbury Park Station in approximately 16 minutes and Kings Cross in 22 minutes. There are also regular trains to Welwyn garden City; Stevenage and Cambridge.
- Conveniently situated close to these local amenities:
- Simmons Bakery
- Bus stop
- Convenience Store
- Fish and Chips
The development is located near plenty of beautiful greenery, with Hatfield Park 0.9 miles away. It has stunning gardens, woodland walks and the grand Hatfield House.
If you want to travel further afield, there are strong transport links. You are just 0.3 miles from Hatfield Train Station, which has direct lines to Cambridge and London King’s Cross.
