We are here for you
The Veri Properties team works to make the journey from enquiry to move-in as clear as possible. We understand that many applicants need guidance when securing a tenancy — that is why we offer a structured support path for every customer.
Renting today is a positive lifestyle choice. Many people prefer not to have the long-term obligations that come with property ownership. Renting provides flexibility and frees tenants of the responsibility of major property repairs and maintenance.

Choosing the area you want to live in
When choosing a location, take the time to consider where you want to live — maybe visit and walk around the area. Consider:
- Your budget — some areas are more expensive than others
- Your commute to work and whether transport links are good
- How near friends and family are
- Any special interests that need to be catered for in your chosen area
- What shopping facilities are nearby
- Services important to you — schools, hospitals and similar
Finding the property to live in
Once you have chosen an area, start your property search on our properties page or call our office. Consider how much rent you can pay each month and what type of property you can afford in your chosen area.
Think about how much space you need, the layout you want and any extra requirements such as a garden or parking space. Once you have decided on the location and property type, browse our available properties and contact our office to arrange a viewing.
Securing your new home
Once you have found a suitable property, the following process applies.
- 1
Reference checking

Application and holding deposit
Complete our application form with ID, proof of residency and a holding deposit of one week's rent.

Deposit and first rent payment
You will be required to put down a deposit of up to five weeks' rent. If you fail to pay rent, cause damage or breach your contract, the landlord has the right to deduct costs from your deposit.

Living in your new home
Living in a rental property differs from living in a property of your own. Things to consider include:
Insurance
Ensure you are covered not only for your own items but also any potential damage to your landlord's property. Specialist tenants insurance is available for those living in rental properties.
Bills
Our tenancy agreement stipulates who is responsible for which bills. Please read it carefully and understand what you are responsible for.
Pets
Some property owners will not allow pets, so check the situation before you move in.
Your responsibilities as a tenant
As a tenant of Veri Properties there are a number of obligations you must adhere to, including:
- Payment of rent according to the conditions set out in the tenancy agreement
- Payment of council tax as required
- Payment of service and utility bills as specified in the tenancy agreement
- Payment of your TV licence
- Taking proper care of the property and keeping it in a good condition
We provide you with a comprehensive list of your tenancy responsibilities. Read the tenancy agreement carefully before agreeing to the terms. If there is any part you do not understand, speak with a member of our team.
You can be assured that all information passed to Veri Properties will be dealt with in a confidential manner.
