Damage Deposit

A damage deposit is a set fee (this differs between each property) that each party has to pay prior to check in to a property. A damage deposit is taken to cover any damage occurred during your stay or breaking house rules. If there is no damage then the damage deposit is returned the next working day. If charges need to be taken, the guest will be charged according to the price to repair the damage and the remainder will be returned to yourself.

The damage deposit will be taken by The Old Bank Apartments prior to your check in, between the office hours of 9am-5pm in the days leading up to your stay.

Please see full T&C’s of damage deposit below.

Cleaning Charge – If the apartment is not left in a respectable state at check out resulting in excess cleaning, this extra cost will be taken from your deposit. Please leave the property in a state you would expect to find it. Please remove all your rubbish from the property on departure including fridge contents. If for any reason the cleaners have been delayed entering the property from 10am such as, you haven’t vacated yet, this will result in an hourly rate of £18 p/h taken from the deposit as this is what we pay the cleaners for their time.

Safety deposit- As the booker you take full responsibility for any loss/damaged or stolen items at the property. This will be taken from the deposit, the deposit is your full liability for any damage/loss or stolen items. If any of these items exceed the deposit amount, you are then liable for these extra costs. Any extra monies that are owed on top of the deposit will be taken from the card details provided to pay the deposit.

If there is any smoking or use of narcotics in the property this will result in the full loss of the deposit paid. Please observe our house rules in the apartments, failure to abide by the rules can result in the loss of your deposit also.

Be respectful of noise when staying in our property as we have neighbours, any complaints will also result in a loss of your safety deposit. We have a maximum capacity on all properties for the health and safety regulations, this is the maximum number of guests that can be booked for the property, if it is found there is more than the maximum capacity within the property then this will also result in loss of damage deposit.

Please note this gets refunded the next working day after your departure and can take up to 5 working days to go back into your bank depending on who you are with.
