info center

As an Open Plan Agency, we strive to offer an accommodation partner for everyone! From our extensive residential portfolio, student properties  through to our serviced apartments operation – we are an accommodation solution. This means we work to versatile and flexible terms for tenants ,landlords and corporate clients.

The Info Centre is designed to help guide you through our standard offering, requirements and how each type of property is let. There are a number of sample documents and info on how we works and how you can work with us.

Being a locally based organisation with a knowledgeable team, we are always open to working in new formats and creating solutions and partnerships that may divert from our standard agreements- so don’t be afraid to ask!

Life after uni…

Our graduate properties are a hybrid of student, co-living and professional homes. Basically, you have the pick of the bunch.

Co Living…

  • These are shared houses and apartments with the majority having utility, internet AND council tax included (bargain!). This is based on a landlord contribution. All managed for yourselves.
  • You will need to be in full time employment and dependent on salary, have a UK homeowner as a guarantor
  • The guarantor and yourself will be open to a soft credit check
  • We do a one months equivalent deposit and your first payment is on day of move in
  • As a standard we offer a 12 month tenancy, but a selection of owners are happy with 6 month
  • Tenancies are fixed term and then generally move into rolling monthly. Some are set in line with the student market and end on the 17th August.
  • We align all our rental payments with the 1st of the month. If you move in on a different date, you will pay an initial rent on move in and your standard monthly amount on the 1st of the month throughout your tenancy.
  • If you move in after the 20th of the month, your initial payment and rental payment will be required at key pick up.

Sharing with students…

  • You are able to share with your student friends in a number of properties
  • You will be responsible for council tax, for the full property (split with other graduates if there)
  • Your utility and internet bills will be included in many properties, but check the listing for details as normal, based on a landlord contribution
  • You will need a guarantor and a months rent deposit
  • The guarantor and yourself will be open to a soft credit check
  • Whether you work hard or carry on living the student dream is up to you
  • These will be available on a 50 week fixed term, not monthly rolling

Professional Homes…

  • Our Homes portfolio is made up of classic residential rentals
  • These do not include bills and the monthly price is just rent. A few properties will have some utilities included- this will be advertised
  • Generally these are unfurnished
  • You will need a minimum of 30x monthly rent as your households combined salary (if the rent is £1000 PCM the combined salary of all adult tenants must be above £30’000)
  • We offer a standard 12 month tenancy into rolling
  • You will need to pass a soft credit check
  • We align all our rental payments with the 1st of the month. If you move in on a different date, you will pay an initial rent on move in and your standard monthly amount on the 1st of the month throughout your tenancy.
  • If you move in after the 20th of the month, your initial payment and rental payment will be required at key pick up.
