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.

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.

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.

Outstanding service from beginning to end. We would highly recommend Victoria Pinkerton and could not have asked for better when purchasing our new home. From the first point of contact via the phone, I instantly felt at ease. During the early stages of the searching process, we met the team in person and we instantly knew that this was the right estate agent for us. From the get-go, their expertise and professionalism were evident, as well as during the purchasing process. Alongside this, they are so friendly, supportive, and caring.
Any concerns that we had were addressed promptly, and we really appreciated this, putting our minds at ease and providing the reassurances we needed. Excellent communication from everyone in the team. A person-centred approach and exceptional overall service which is testament to why they are rated so highly. Top-notch! Thank-you so much again to everyone that helped us along the way. An amazing team!
