Guide for Tenants finding a property in Derby and Derbyshire

It is wise to start looking about a month before you wish to move as the nicer properties are viewed and reserved quickly. We regret that we cannot assist D.S.S claimants and many of our Landlords will only accept Tenants who are in full time employment, and many of our Landlords will not accept children or pets in their property. Our tenancies are granted for a minimum term of 6 months.
