Tenants

What have our tenants being saying?

After viewing one of vie space properties, I was all decided that it was a great property to rent. The letting agent showed me around, gave us really honest, helpful tour of the house. then personally sorted out all the queries I had about the property, keeping us regularly updated and was particularly helpful with the financial side, accommodating me as a professional! I would STRONGLY recommend using VieSpace properties and through them have made some great mates I still meet up with.

Having lived in a house managed by VieSpace I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. The place was clean, my flatmates ended up becoming good mates and the whole process was really easy. As I was coming from abroad and not knowing anyone in new forest it was the perfect option for me.

I found VieSpace really professional and they made finding a place simple and easy, what it should be! They’re not like other estate agents. Friendly staff, nice rooms and an all-inclusive service – I would definitely use them again.

I moved to Hampshire about 6 months ago and have found renting from VieSpace hassle free and straightforward. The rooms are all reasonably priced, well furnished and of a good standard . They have provided an exceptional, professional, speedy service, resolving questions/issues quickly and diligently. I have met some great people throughout my stay so far and would highly recommend to any prospective tenants!

Our Tenants’ FAQs

DO YOU REFERENCE AND CREDIT CHECK? HOW MUCH DOES THIS COST?

Yes, on application we will reference you with your employer and current/previous landlords/agencies. We will also credit check your affordability for the room. This costs £100 which is non returnable.

DO I NEED TO PAY A DEPOSIT?

Yes, the deposit is equal to 1 months rent. So it depends on the size of the room you take.

DO THE BEDROOMS HAVE LOCKS ON?

All of our bedrooms have locks on. We know it can be daunting moving into a new household, and want to make the move as easy as possible for you.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I WANT TO LEAVE?

Once you are out of your initial 6 month contract all you need to do is give us 1 calendar months notice. We will advertise your room and give you a minimum of 24 hours notice that someone is coming to view your room.

WHAT’S YOUR MINIMUM CONTRACT LENGTH?

We normally ask for a minimum of 6 months, which then rolls month by month after your initial fixed term. If you have a short contract term at work we can arrange for a shorter contract length to suit.

WHO WILL I BE LIVING WITH?

Our customers (as we like to think of you) are predominately working professionals in their 20’s and 30’s. There may on occasion be a mature student or post graduate in the house.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER FEES OR CHARGES?

No. The only fee you will pay is the £100 for the reference and credit check.

DO YOU HAVE ANY ROOMS FOR COUPLES?

Currently not, we don’t want to overcrowd the house and want to make sure there are enough bathroom facilities to support you. Rooms are for single occupancy only.

DO YOU ALLOW PETS?

None of our properties allow pets, this is for the comfort of all of the other house-mates.

WHICH BILLS ARE INCLUDED?

All of them! That’s gas, electricity, water, council tax, broadband and TV licence.
We even throw in a fortnightly cleaner of communal areas free of charge and on occasion the gardener may pay a visit. The gas and electricity are included up to a combined cost of £200 per calendar month for the whole household. There is no reason you should go over this even in the deepest darkest winters, but if you did it would be calculated monthly and split evenly between the people living there.

HOW DO I PAY THE RENT?

Rent needs to be paid via a standing order, set up to reach our account on the 1st of every month.

HOW DO I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BOOK A VIEWING?

Contact us on 01590 673 293 to arrange a viewing. A phone call or text is fine. Please be aware we must give our current tenants 24 hours notice, so don’t expect a viewing the same day that you ring up.

CAN MY FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER COME TO STAY WITH ME?

Of course. But no more than 2 nights per week unless previously agreed with VieSpace. And it’s always polite to mention it to your other house-mates – how would you feel bumping into a stranger in the middle of the night..

IS THERE PARKING AT YOUR PROPERTIES?

Some have drives for multiple cars, most you can park on the street and the odd one may have restricted parking hours. The advert for the property will describe in more detail.

I SMOKE, IS THAT A PROBLEM?

No, but all of our properties are non smoking inside, which includes hanging out of the window! You can of course smoke in the garden with the back door closed behind you.

IS BEDDING PROVIDED?

No, we would recommend one of the big supermarket stores as being most competitive in price. We do supply a mattress protector which must remain in place.

WHAT FURNITURE IS PROVIDED IN THE BEDROOM?

You will have one double (or single) bed frame and mattress, a mattress protector, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe (or tallboy) and a bedside table. Some rooms also have a desk and chair. All rooms have curtains and a lock.

DO I NEED TO BRING KITCHEN EQUIPMENT?

All properties have the basic equipment: plates, bowls, cutlery, sharp knives, chopping boards, pots and pans, mugs and glasses.

IS THERE A WASHING MACHINE, FRIDGE/FREEZER ETC?

All properties have one washing machine, if there are 4 tenants you will have at least one tall fridge freezer (often another fridge), if there are 5 tenants you will have two tall fridge freezers to allow for a shelf each. Some properties also have the luxury of a dishwasher and tumble drier, but not all.

MY JOB HAS FINISHED EARLIER THAN I THOUGHT – CAN I LEAVE MY CONTRACT EARLY?

In this situation we try to help as much as possible. We will advertise the room for the day after you vacate and try to get someone to take over from you as soon as possible. You will of course be liable for rent until the day that someone takes over, or the end date of your contract, whichever is soonest.

WHO DEALS WITH MAINTENANCE ISSUES?

We do. But we depend on your cooperation on this. Please tell us as soon as you think there is an issues with anything in the house, no matter how big or small and we will organise the repairs. If it is a structural problem or general wear and tear the landlord will pay for it, but if someone has broken something, by accident or not, they will have to pay for it. We are always very fair and will listen to everyone’s explanation first.

IS THERE A TV IN THE HOUSE?

Yes, all houses are fitted with large (normally flat-screen) TVs in the lounge/communal area. They all have free-view boxes to allow you to watch your favourite programmes.

CAN I USE JOB SEEKERS ALLOWANCE OR HOUSING BENEFIT TO PAY THE RENT?

No, I’m afraid this isn’t allowed. You need to be in full time employment or be a mature/post graduate student. We will ask for confirmation from your employer or university.

IS THERE A LANDLINE PHONE IN THE HOUSE?

No, we don’t see the need for them, as everybody uses their mobiles.
