GENERAL POINTS
  • You must be 18 or over to benefit from our services. No exception to this rule will be granted.
  • Allondres  advises you to get the European Health Insurance Card.
  • Allondres reserves the right to change the details in this website and the terms and conditions at any time.
  • Allondres will take all reasonable steps to make  your relocation easier but will not be liable for any claims, costs, expenses or losses (whether indirect or consequential) suffered by you as a result of the performance or the non performance of this contract, save for death or personal injury caused by Allondres' negligence.
  • Allondres is not available 24/7. Business times are between 9am and 5pm only (English time). Opening days are available to view on the following link : http://allondres.com/dispos.html
  • Our contract is governed by English laws and subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
  • The English version shall prevail over the French version in our documentation.
REGISTRATION AND PAYMENTS
  • All payments need to be made to Allondres within 2 weeks of receiving your invoice. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of your booking.
  • If you register within 3 or 4 weeks of arrival payments must be made on reception of your invoice.
  • All booking will be cancelled should payments not be made on time.
  • You will receive an e-mail confirming reception of your booking form, an invoice detailing the different services chosen and deposit to be paid as well as the terms and conditions in French and English to be read and signed.
  • We will confirm reception of your bank transfer and of your signed documents by e-mail.
  • All payments must be made by Bank Transfer in Sterling Pounds.
  • You must pay all transfer fees. Failure to do so will lead to a £20 penalty.
  • The deposit varies according to the property and is normaly equivalent to 1 month rent. I therefore ask you to add £400 to the payment owed to Allondres. This £400 will be given to the landlord to reserve the accommodation and will be deducted from the deposit you owe him. For example:
    • If the deposit is £450 and the first month rent £500, £50 from the deposit will remain to be paid on arrival as well as £500 for the first month.
    • If the deposit is £300 and the first month rent £375, the deposit will have been paid in full which only leaves you with £275 to pay on arrival.
  • On your arrival day, you will need to pay the 1st month rent directly to your landlord. Please have everything ready to do so.

 

ACCOMODATION
  • All properties are flatshare accomodation.
  • Allondres will not be held responsible for the state of the accommodation when you arrive (flatmates who did not wash the dishes or do the cleaning for example) or for the health and safety measures in place which is the landlord responsibility.
  • Allondres will not be held responsible if the accomodation is not to your taste. Flatshares in London do not always have a living room especially in zone 2. Please note that the standard of the rooms in London is not always equivalent to French standards.
  • Allondres will not be responsible for any other tenants who live in the property and the way they behave.
  • The number of flatmates depends on the property and may vary from 3 to 7 people.
  • The landlord can replace any tenant with another one from any nationality.
  • The duration of the contracts is normally 3, 6 or 12 months depending on the landlord. You will be required to sign a contract with the landlord on arrival. Keep a copy for reference. The contract is between you and the landlord and must be read with attention. Allondres cannot intervene or influence the landlord in any way. Please ask your landlord the notice period you have to give before leaving the accommodation. If you leave before the end of the contract or if you do not give enough notice you may lose your deposit.
  • Allondres does not deal with and cannot intervene in matters involving deposit recovery. It is your duty and responsibility to get your deposit back from the landlord / property manager.
  • Allondres does not provide new tenants if you wish to terminate your contact earlier.
  • If you do not adhere to the contract you risk eviction. Please pay the rent on time.
  • Allondres will take your preferences into account but they cannot be guaranteed as it will depend on availibilities.
  • Allondres cannot guarantee that all persons travelling together will be placed in the same accommodation as it will depend on availabilities at the time of your arrival. Twin rooms are very popular and therefore nor always available. If a twin is not available, a double room will be booked.
  • The zone cannot be guaranteed but will be zone 2 or 3.
  • The area cannot be guaranteed.
  • Should you at any time during your stay wish to change accommodation it is your responsibility so you cannot involve Allondres. Once more you need to check the notice period you have to give.
  • If you have any problem with the accommodation you can ask Allondres for advice but it is up to the landlord to resolve the problem so you should contact him. Allondres cannot influence his decisions in any way.
  • Your address and any other information will be given to you 1 to 2 weeks before your arrival.
  • Do not forget to bring a duvet or thick cover and linen as well as towels as these are not normally provided for hygiene reasons. (the size of the bed will be given to you nearer the time of your arrival).
  • Please do not arrive at your accommodation after 6PM.
  • Pets are not allowed in any accommodation.
  • Should you cause any damage to the property you will be required to pay for any expenditure which result from these damages.
  • Allondres is not responsible for any theft to your belongings in the accommodation or anywhere else. It is down to you to take the necessary precautions.
  • You will have to adhere to the contract you sign with the landlord on arrival and make all due payments to him.
  • Finding you accommodation will depend on your personal requests and flexibility, on the season and on the number of flatshare available.
  • If for the above reasons or any other reasons it becomes impossible to book an accommodation for your chosen date we will discuss alternatives. But if we are unable to find you an alternative we will only be liable to provide a refund.
JOB JOB SEARCH SEARCH
  • Allondres will help you with your job search thanks to the different services made available to you and depending on the ones you choose to book if any. But Allondres  cannot guarantee that you will be able to find a suitable placement/job as it is down to each individual and down to your ability to adapt and pass interviews (which are not guaranteed either).
  • You are responsible for obtaining your own interviews.

  • As soon as you receive your invoice, the bank transfer must be made within 2 weeks in order to book the necessary dates. If you are arriving within the next 3 or 4 weeks then the bank transfer must be done immediatly. Bookings will be cancelled if the payments are not received within the correct time frame.
  • If it becomes necessary for you to cancel your booking, part refunds will be given if we are notified in writing 4 weeks before your due arrival date. Subject to the point above, the administration fee is non refundable and Allondres reserves the right to deduct any reasonable costs already incurred in relation to your booking. The deposit for the accommodation will only be refunded if the accommodation was not already reserved.
