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.

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.

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.
