Are you prepared to volunteer for a charitable cause of your choice for at least 16 hours per month?

YesNoTo discover more about the volunteering element of property guardianship with Dot Dot Dot, visit our 'Volunteering' webpage.

Are you intending to live with children or dependents, either full-time or part-time?

YesNoAt Dot Dot Dot, we don’t allow anyone under 18 to live in our properties. Property guardians need to be ready to move house with 28 days’ notice whenever a property owner would like their building back, and this is much harder for children who need continuity and access to, for example, the same schools, nurseries and GPs, than it is for flexible, independent adults.

Are you intending to live with pets?

YesNoAt Dot Dot Dot we love all creatures great and small, however, as building security and maintenance is paramount to property guardianship, our properties are unsuitable for pets.

As a property guardian, you could be asked to leave a property with 28 days’ notice. This could be because a property owner needs the building back. Would you have a move-on plan if this happened?

YesNoAs Dot Dot Dot guardians are licence holders and not tenants, you can be asked to move on from the property with 28 days’ notice. We need all guardians to have a move-on plan which covers where they would stay and how they would manage if given notice.

All of our properties are safe to live in, however, they are usually unfurnished. Would you be happy to source your own appliances and furniture?

YesNo

Do you have a regular, reliable source of funds?

YesNoIf you are matched with a property, you will need to pay a one-off refundable security payment (equivalent of five weeks' fees) plus the monthly licence fee that can range between £300 and £1,000. Depending on the property, you may also need to budget for your share of the bills and council tax. Monthly licence fees vary for every property and are advertised on our website.

Do you have any unspent convictions or previous criminal convictions?

YesNo
