Rent is usually paid monthly in advance by bank transfer. Full details, including the due date and payment reference, will be confirmed in your tenancy agreement. Our friendly team is always on hand if you need any help setting this up.

Some of our properties are pet-friendly, while others may have restrictions. Let us know early on if you have a pet, and we’ll be happy to advise on suitable options and any conditions that may apply.

We’ll be in touch well in advance of your end date to guide you through the check-out process. Provided the property is returned in good condition and in line with the agreement, your deposit will be returned promptly through the relevant protection scheme.
