Renting With Us
What to expect in a New Mills Properties home
Our mission is to make a positive impact on the places where we live, work and play. So we ensure that all of our flats, family homes and shared houses are finished to a good standard. We have a comprehensive standard that outlines the requirements of the condition of our empty and furnished shared homes when they are let.
You can be reassured that all of our properties comply with current legislation and most exceed minimum standards. The majority of our homes include fitted kitchens and showers in every bathroom.
Shared Living
Our contemporary shared houses are fully furnished and many also include ensuite shower rooms. All are tastefully decorated and rent includes utilities and high-speed wifi. Our shared houses are designed for socialising so that you can relax with housemates in comfortable communal areas and well-equipped kitchens.
Shared Living For Business
For businesses that regularly employ contractors from outside the area for three months or more, and for businesses that would like to rent an entire house for six months or more we are able to offer additional discounts or upgrade options.
Guarantors
To rent any of our flats or family homes we ask you to provide a guarantor. You can find out more about guarantors on our Rental Guarantor page.
Affordability
Before arranging a viewing we will ask you what your annual household income is. This will help us determine whether you can afford to pay the monthly rent. When you calculate your annual income, don’t forget to include any benefits that you receive. And in the case of a joint tenancy, include the annual income of everyone who will be signing the tenancy.
Affordability is usually listed on our property details pages:
- Total income required to pass affordability ____
We calculate affordability by multiplying the monthly rent by 30
To check that your household income is enough to rent one of our properties or rooms you should take the monthly rent and multiply it by 30. This will give you the gross annual income that you will need to demonstrate that you can afford to cover your rent and living expenses.
For example: – monthly rent of £400 x 30 = gross annual income of £12,000
You will be rejected if you are not earning enough or if you have a poor credit history.
