The Site Information is provided "as is" and we make no representation, endorsement or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness. We will not be liable for any action taken (or not taken) in reliance upon the Site Information and such action is taken entirely at your own risk. We reserve the right to make changes to the Site Information to correct any errors or omissions (at our discretion) without notice and without liability to you.
External websites to which we provide hypertext links are not under our control and we take no responsibility and shall not be liable in any way for their content.
It is a feature of the Sites that some of the Site Information is contributed to us by different third parties (such as, without limitation, landlords and letting agents) and we do not control those parties or their information. Opinions expressed within the Site Information are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent our opinions.
Additionally, any necessary information that has not been supplied by third-parties in their contribution (such as, but not limited to, landlord registration numbers, EPCs and full fee disclosure) is not under the control or responsibility of the Sites. The author responsible for the Information is listed where applicable.
The Sites, like any other, are susceptible to cyber-squatting, spoofing and vandalism. We do not accept any responsibility for, nor liability in respect of any losses arising from, or information which appears on the Sites as a result of, such actions.
Where the operation of the Sites depends on the input of information by you, the service provided by us depends on, and varies according to, the accuracy of such inputted information. We can therefore accept no responsibility for, nor any liability in respect of, the input of inaccurate information to the Sites by you and/or any third parties.
In the unlikely event that you find any inaccurate information on the Sites or have any complaint about what we have published please email feedback@lettingweb.com. We will investigate on receipt and take such action which we, in our sole discretion, determine as being appropriate having regard to all the circumstances.
Without prejudice to any of the other provisions of these terms and conditions, please note that the details of properties advertised on this website are prepared and submitted by landlords and their agents. Such details should be relied upon as statements or representations of fact. If you are interested in letting one of these properties, you should satisfy yourself by inspecting the property concerned and making all necessary enquiries and investigations, including (but not limited to) enquiries and investigations as to:
whether any of the services, appliances, equipment or facilities mentioned in any property advertisements have been tested and nothing in the advertisement should be deemed to be a statement that such services, appliances, equipment or facilities are in good working order;
- whether any of the services, appliances, equipment or facilities mentioned in any property advertisements have been tested and nothing in the advertisement should be deemed to be a statement that such services, appliances, equipment or facilities are in good working order;
- whether any property being offered for let is in a good and safe structural condition;
- whether any contents, furniture and plenishings described in the property advertisement or shown in any photographs relating to the property advertisement will be available to tenants or that they will be in the condition so described or shown;
- whether any property remains as described in the property advertisement or as shown in any photographs and without limitation, no assumption should be made about any parts of the property which are not so described as shown;
- whether any dimensions or measurements described in the property advertisement or apparent from any related photograph are precise or that they are given as anything other than a rough guide to the property dimension; and
- whether any property is subject to all necessary local authority or other consents.
The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and is for guidance only and may not cover points which arise in every case. You should not enter into any lease or other arrangement with any landlord or landlord's agent unless you have satisfied yourself on any points relating to the property or the lease which you are unsure of or have taken advice from your solicitor or accountant or financial adviser or other suitably qualified advisor.
You should make your own enquiries as to any claims or statements made in the course of any property advertisement, editorial material, legal advice or other advertisement on this website. We do not guarantee that such claims or statements are correct and you should take the appropriate professional advice before making any decision based on such claims or statements.
7. Total cost of living - calculations
The figures noted under the Total cost of living for any property on Lettingweb.com are shown as a guide only and represent an estimate for what the tenant or tenants could expect to pay on a monthly basis for Energy (Gas and Electricity), Council tax including water charges and the rent. It is important to remember that when budgeting for renting any property, there will be other costs that should be accounted for on top such as telephone and broadband, TV services, insurance and general living costs for food and household functions.
Specifically, the Energy figure is provided from the last available energy performance certificate (EPC) to enable prospective buyers and tenants to compare the fuel costs of one home with another. To enable this comparison the figures have been calculated using standardised running conditions (heating periods, room temperatures, etc.) that are the same for all homes, consequently they are unlikely to match an occupier's actual fuel bills in practice. The figures do not include the impacts of the fuels used for cooking or running appliances, such as TV, fridge etc.; nor do they reflect the costs associated with service, maintenance or safety inspections. It is recommended that you always check the most up to date EPC because fuel prices can change over time and energy saving recommendations will evolve. To view an up to date EPC for any property, please visit:
www.scottishepcregister.org.uk
The Council Tax figure is based on the 2016 charges noted for the property. To check the most up to date figure for any property, please visit:
www.saa.gov.uk
The Rent amount is nominated by the managing agent on behalf of the landlord for the property.
* Asterisk on Total cost of living widget indicates:
- An estimated energy cost. The estimated energy cost is based on average use in the neighbourhood of properties with a similar rental price.
- That council tax band has not been set by the managing agent. In this case, the council tax band is based on the rental price
and council tax cost displayed is estimated based on last 24 months averages.
