Tenants

Placing Qualified Tenants in Quality Properties

The first step in finding your ideal place to live is to contact us with your property requirements, such as how many bedrooms you need and what locations are of interest to you. We will also need a brief overview about your current living arrangements and employment status.

TENANCIES

Our single let tenancies are granted for a minimum of 6 months and our room tenancies for a minimum of 3 months. We grant them for a minimum period to give you peace of mind and flexibility. Tenancies may be renewed after this initial period if all parties are in agreement.

VIEWINGS

Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
