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.
Real reviews, from real people, just like you.

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.

I have bought and sold property in Northern Ireland, Scotland and England over the past 35 years and never before have I encountered such an outstanding level of service and professionalism as we received from the team at Victoria Pinkerton. I dealt with the rental team for 15 years and recently the Sales team, who have just completed the sale of our property at Pinehill Road, Bangor. To use the words 'First Class' is inadequate; this is an office full of totally professional and caring people. Top Marks. Special mention to Colin Dill and Sandra Russell. Well done to all, would gladly recommend this team of professionals to anyone looking for a 'TOP CLASS' Estate Agent.

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.

First class. Excellent customer service. Very attentive, even though I was buying from Victoria Pinkerton. Sandra and Aimee were so approachable and easy to chat too when I had a query. If I ever move again, I will definitely select Victoria Pinkerton to sell my property, and it would hopefully be through Victoria Pinkerton that I would buy from.

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!

Megan's exceptional attention to detail and unwavering dedication have truly set her apart in managing my property. From the initial let to the mid-term inspections and the meticulous move-out report, Megan has consistently gone above and beyond to safeguard my interests as a landlord.
In a particularly challenging situation involving a dispute over the deposit at the end of a tenancy, Megan's expertise and thoroughness shone through. Her meticulous documentation and evidence collection were instrumental in securing a favourable outcome. The adjudicator's ruling in my favour, citing the exceptional quality of the evidence supplied, is a testament to Megan's outstanding professionalism.
Megan's exceptional eye for detail and commitment to protecting my interests make her an invaluable asset. I have complete confidence in her abilities, and I am truly grateful for her exceptional service. Megan is a true professional, and I feel fortunate to have her managing my property.
