Tenant Information

We know that moving into a new home can feel daunting—but at Adkins Property, we’re here to make the process smooth, stress-free, and fully transparent.

Our tenants receive the same respect, care, and communication as our landlords. We’re available 7 days a week and offer extended viewing hours until 8pm on request—because your time matters.

Viewings Made Easy

We’ll arrange individual or grouped viewings to give you options. All appointments are confirmed by phone and email with the date, time, address, and postcode.
Viewings run Monday to Friday, 8am–6pm, and evenings or weekends are available by request.

Reserving a Property

To secure your chosen home, we recommend reserving it as soon as possible. A holding deposit of one week’s rent is required to remove the property from the market.
We’ll guide you through the referencing process and keep you fully informed at every step.

Referencing is always FREE with Adkins Property.

If your referencing is unsuccessful, your holding deposit will be refunded in full.
