Renting a Property
Finding a residential property to rent can sometimes be a complex and stressful experience. That’s why we have a dedicated and proactive team, on hand to personally guide you through the letting process and ensure that you experience a smooth and professional transaction.
Pocock & Shaw let and manage a variety of furnished and unfurnished properties throughout Cambridge, Ely and Newmarket and the surrounding communities, bringing together thousands of landlords and tenants looking for both short and long-term lets every year.
Each property is personally checked to ensure that it not only meets all recognised health and safety regulations but also our own high standards of living. Likewise, to protect our landlords we carry out a series of background and financial checks on any prospective tenants. We will also require at least one full month’s rent as a deposit and one month’s rent paid in advance.
