Flatfair – a tenancy deposit allternative available from selected Hunters branches
A Deposit Alternative means instead of paying a traditional five weeks security deposit (or six weeks where the annual rent exceeds £50,000), you pay a fee of one week’s rent +VAT to become a member of a deposit free renting scheme which can significantly reduce the up-front costs. This fee is non-refundable and is not a Deposit. Any outstanding costs or damages will be payable by the Tenant(s) at the end of the tenancy.
Hunters Virtual Valuation
During the COVID-19 period, Hunters are offering virtual valuations via WhatsApp and Facetime. These are subject to participating branches and you may not be able to receive one.

Any property advertised in such a way is deemed correct at the time of marketing of said property and is subject to change. Any MOT Certified Property is advertised without any representations or warranties, express or implied.
