Our area of the world is a great place to live and we are pleased to welcome you. If you have rented before you may be well versed in the process, but for those of you who havenāt, this page will guide you through.
Our properties are listed with an āAvailable Dateā which is the earliest that a new tenant could move in. Properties are usually listed To Let around 4 weeks in advance of them being available so bear this in mind when searching.
Once youāve found a property that takes your fancy, the best way to arrange a viewing is to call our team or use the instant book feature on our website.
Prior to viewing, make sure youāve watched the video tour and read the marketing information carefully. Take a look at the property on street view and check any commuting or school run needs to make sure it suits your criteria.

You should now pay your holding deposit, which is the equivalent of 1 weeks rent. This will be offset against your move in monies so the process wonāt cost you anything other than your rent and deposit. There are some unlikely circumstances in which you may forfeit your holding deposit. You can see our tenant fee schedule for more information.
Once your form is complete and holding deposit received, weāll conduct your referencing including previous landlord, income, employment and credit checks. Weāll send you a copy of our tenancy agreement and How to Rent guide so you can see exactly what youāre agreeing to.
Our team will review the final references before confirming with you if everything has been successful. Our tenant managers will then issue your tenancy agreement and arrange a suitable time for you to formally move in.
By moving day you will have completed your references, paid your deposit and initial rental funds and signed your tenancy agreement for your new home.
The actual ācheck inā usually takes place at the property or at one of our offices. Weāll let you know which in advance so you can make arrangements.
If the property is managed by us you will find a detailed Inventory and Schedule of Condition that we ask you to check through and make sure youāre happy with.
Enjoy your new home!
