Deposit-Free Renting
with Reposit

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.

APPLY FOR A PROPERTY

What Happens Next

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.

Excellent service from start to finish! We were kept well informed during a complicated sales process (long chain) and relied on the team’s excellent advice throughout. The whole team went the extra mile and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

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.

Victoria Pinkerton recently took over the management of an apartment block in Bangor, of which I am a Director. Victoria herself is dealing with the transfer from the other Agent, and I cannot speak highly enough of the service we are receiving. She is energetic and robust in her approach to ensuring we are getting value for money from all our contractors, and indeed, in her first week, the insurance cost was reduced by £1000. The transition has not been smooth, but she has persisted in overcoming obstacles, and I am grateful for her tenacity. The ethos of the firm seems to me to place an equal emphasis on friendliness and professionalism, and every encounter I have had with other members of staff has borne this out. I am totally impressed with every aspect of Victoria Pinkerton and feel that making this change will have a positive effect on the overall position of the Apartment block going forward. Definitely 5 stars

I've had the pleasure of working with Mark from Victoria Pinkerton for over five years now, and I can confidently say that he never fails to impress. Mark's professionalism and attention to detail are truly commendable. As a Director of a residents management company, I rely on Mark to keep me informed about expenditure and scheduled works, and he always delivers with thorough and timely responses. What sets Mark apart is his dedication to maintaining consistent communication, even when my interactions with Victoria Pinkerton extend beyond property management. Despite not being part of the sales team, Mark has been incredibly supportive during the sale of three properties. It's evident that he takes personal ownership of his clients' experiences, ensuring a seamless transition and demonstrating a level of care that goes above and beyond. I'm grateful to have Mark as my point of contact at Victoria Pinkerton, and his unwavering commitment to excellence has made every interaction a positive one. He truly embodies the values of professionalism and exceptional customer service.

We recently sold our home with Victoria Pinkerton and couldn't recommend them enough; from the initial valuation to completion was flawless. I can’t finish off without giving Sandra a special mention, from the start she helped us at every turn and even went as far as showing us how to use the app on my phone to map the progress of our sale, and with constant updates on the phone, we were kept very well informed.

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.
