We have teamed up with Flatfair who offer a simple, safe and affordable alternative to tenancy deposits. Instead of paying a deposit at the start of your tenancy, simply pay Flatfair a one-off, non-refundable membership charge to create a flat bond that covers each household for the duration of the lease despite of the size of the unit or length of stay. There are two membership fee options, if the rent is over £3,000 pcm the fee will be £600, where the rent is lower than £3000 pcm it will be £350.

As Flatfair isn’t an insurance product, tenants simply agree to pay for any valid claims or damages at the end of the tenancy. If you wish to take advantage of this option, please visit www.flatfair.co.uk or talk to your property manager for more information.
