Clear guidance, trusted support, and 24/7 access to everything you need - welcome to renting with Victoria Pinkerton.
Finding and securing the right rental should feel straightforward and stress-free. That's why we offer clear advice, expert support, and a dedicated tenant portal - so you can settle into your new home with confidence. Register your details and we'll notify you as soon as a property matches your criteria.
At Victoria Pinkerton, we're always looking for ways to make the renting process easier and more affordable. Reposit is a new alternative to the traditional deposit - and a welcome option for many tenants.
Rent Without the Big Upfront Cost
Reposit is a simple alternative to a traditional cash deposit. Instead of tying up hundreds of pounds in a lump sum, you pay a small, non-refundable fee - freeing up your finances while still giving your landlord protection. If your landlord offers Reposit, you'll have the option to choose between this deposit-free approach or the standard cash deposit. The decision is entirely yours.
Why tenants love it
Reposit helps make moving more affordable. You'll enjoy lower upfront costs, greater financial flexibility, and faster resolution if any issues arise at the end of your tenancy. There's no waiting around for your money to be returned, just a clear and efficient process from start to finish.
Getting started is easy
If you choose Reposit, we'll send you a link to sign up and pay your fee through the secure Reposit platform. This activates your cover and must be completed before your tenancy begins. From there, you're all set to move in and enjoy your new home - without the hassle of a traditional deposit.

Applying for a Rental Property
Once you've found a property you'd like to apply for, the process is simple:
-
Complete an application form.
If suitable, we'll move you to the referencing stage.
-
You'll need to provide references from your employer, current landlord and undergo a credit and ID check.
Please note, your application will not be considered fully submitted until all documents are received and referencing is complete.
Before referencing begins, you'll be asked for your
preferred move-in date and a holding fee (equal to one month's rent). This removes the property from the market for seven days while your application is processed. If the deadline is missed, the property may be remarketed, and charges may apply.
Once referencing is successful, you'll be issued with a Tenancy Agreement. This becomes legally binding once signed, and your holding fee will be used as part of your first month's rent. If a guarantor is needed, they must also sign a Deed of Guarantee at this stage.
Affordability Requirements
To pass affordability checks, your annual income must be at least 2.5 x the annual rent.
EXAMPLE
If the rent is £900/month, you must earn over £27,000/year.
If you fall below this, a guarantor is required. Guarantors must earn 3 x the annual rent and be in full-time employment. Housing Benefit or Universal Credit applicants must also provide a guarantor.
Your Tenant Portal
All tenants receive access to our secure online Client Portal, where you can:
-
View tenancy details, payment records, and deposit information
-
Track maintenance requests
-
Renew or update your tenancy
Accessible anytime, from your phone, tablet or PC - giving you full transparency and control throughout your tenancy.
Insurance
We strongly recommend tenants take out a contents insurance policy that also covers accidental damage to the landlord's fixtures and fittings. This protects both your belongings and your deposit.
We're happy to introduce you to a trusted insurance broker or you can arrange cover online here.
Charges may only apply in the following situations: You withdraw after reserving the property. You provide false or incorrect application details. You fail to meet agreed deadlines.
COSTS INCLUDE
Loss of Rent
(e.g. 2 weeks lost marketing = 2 weeks' rent).
Remarketing Fee of £150 + VAT.

Rachelle was extremely helpful and friendly. She explained everything and helped me understand what goes into getting your first home. Rachelle also worked around my working hours as I have a long working day and can't get out of work for meetings. I would 100% go back to her for more help in the future.

Thank you so much Victoria Pinkerton for the amazing service from start to finish with the completion of our property! In particular, I want to thank Nikki for her hard work, determination and commitment. You do so much behind the scenes, and it is clear you care and are passionate about your clients, always very reassuring. I do not wish to move again 😆 but would definitely have you sell our property in the future and recommend you to family and friends. Thanks so much.

We were extremely pleased with the service that Victoria Pinkerton provided, with regards to the sale of our late parents’ home at Henderson Avenue, Bangor. This was a difficult, emotional and stressful time for the family, and the staff at Victoria Pinkerton went above and beyond in delivering our requests. This was our family home for 54 years, and Victoria Pinkerton was so empathetic in their approach throughout every stage of the sales process. This company understood the housing market in the area and answered all our questions in a way that was clear and easy to understand. The advice that they provided was delivered in a very professional and friendly way. I have no hesitation in recommending Victoria Pinkerton to any person who is thinking of selling their property.

It has taken us 14 months and 56 houses to finally find our forever home. During those months, we had been in contact with many estate agents asking " what is coming on?", and making viewing appointments daily. I began to know the staff inside out from each estate agent, and most knew me as soon as I only gave my first name.
Victoria Pinkerton are an excellent Team. Aimee and Nikki always went that extra mile, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Aimee even went out of her way to contact me regarding houses that were listed with other estate agents, just in case I missed " the special one". The Pinkertons Team were very enthusiastic and always on hand anytime you needed them. They were polite, friendly, helpful, professional, and most of all, took the time to help us with any queries we had. I would highly recommend Victoria Pinkerton.

We have viewed a number of properties, but Victoria Pinkerton has been a pleasure to deal with. After sending a request to view the property, they made initial contact very quickly and were very accommodating and helped us to arrange a time around work. They also checked in with us on the day to check we were still comfortable viewing. Aimee met us at the property. She was so friendly and welcoming. We are 1st time buyers, and she made us feel valued - that no question was too big or too small or silly! She was very knowledgeable and guided up around the house with no pressure or awkwardness. We have met a number of estate agents, but she has by far been the nicest! Look forward to hopefully dealing with Victoria Pinkerton in the future!

Having just recently completed the purchase of a property as a first-time buyer, I can highly recommend the team at Victoria Pinkerton. For the initial viewings and any follow-up visits, I dealt with Lydia, who was always very friendly and was able to answer any questions I had on the property. Throughout the rest of the purchasing process over the following months, I mostly dealt with Sandra, whose communication was great; she was always easy to get a hold of, provided regular updates and was the most helpful part of the whole thing right up to completion. The same can be said for the other members of the team with whom I had been in contact on occasion. Overall, nothing but good things to say about the team and would happily recommend them to anyone in the future
