At Sandbrook & Kingston, our goal is to find the perfect property to suit your requirements and to make it as hassle-free an experience as possible. Whether you’re searching for houses for rent in Rochdale or looking for professional guidance from local letting agents in Manchester, we are here to help you find the perfect property to match your needs.
Step 1. Finding a Property
The first step in your rental journey with us is to share brief details about yourself and the accommodation you’re looking for with us. We’ll then use our extensive database to match you with suitable options.
We’d advise you to start your search about a month before your intended move date. Popular properties often rent quickly, so getting a head start is key. If your move is not urgent or we don’t have an immediate match, we’ll log your details and notify you as soon as new properties to rent in Rochdale and Manchester become available.

Step 2. Arranging a Viewing
Viewings will be arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends, and you will invariably be accompanied by a member of staff, who can give advice and answer any questions you may have.
Step 3. Getting References
As a minimum, we will require satisfactory references from your employer (or colleague), a previous or current landlord, and a credit reference report.
We may also require a personal reference, and sometimes a guarantor. We may use the services of an independent referencing company to obtain and evaluate these references.
Step 4. Deposit
A security deposit of a minimum of one month’s rental will normally be required. This deposit will be treated in accordance with the Tenancy Deposit Protection regulations, and you will be provided with the appropriate prescribed information and receive details regarding the scheme used. The deposit is held to cover damage, breakages, and any other liabilities under the terms of your tenancy agreement. Please note that under no circumstances can the deposit be used by the tenant to cover rent.
Step 5. Rent Payments & Bills
Rents are normally quoted calendar monthly, and payable monthly in advance. The tenant is usually also responsible for Council Tax, Water Rates, Gas, Electricity and Telephone costs. All rent payments are payable by bank standing order to our company bank account or your landlord’s bank account.
