What can you expect from Northern Group and the renting process?

We’ve tailored our processes, through years of letting, to ensure renting through Northern Group is transparent and easy – making moving home, opening an office or setting up shop something to look forward to. We are extremely proud of our buildings and ensure that every property is well-presented and maintained for clients both before you move in and while you are a valued part of our community. If you have any questions about the renting process, please contact our friendly team who are dedicated to finding the perfect space for you.

Let's talk

Residential – property process

  1. We’ll discuss your requirements and budget to narrow the search. 

  2. View our properties virtually and / or in person, at your convenience.

  3. Once you’ve found the right property, you’re ready to put forward an offer.

  4. When an offer is accepted by the landlord, you will pay a holding deposit and complete the tenancy declaration form online.

  5. A credit check will be carried out for all applicants and guarantors (if applicable). This includes ID checks, right to rent checks, employment reference, landlord reference and a credit history check.

  6. When the credit check and references are approved you will sign a tenancy agreement online (to be completed within 14 days from the application commencement, or prior to the move-in date, whichever is sooner).

  7. Prior to moving in, make payment of your initial rent and tenancy deposit in cleared funds.

  8. One of our team will meet you to complete a formal check-in report, verify identity and hand over keys.

  9. Once you’re moved in, you’ll have a dedicated Property Manager on-hand to take care of any requests.

  • Five star customer service received from Mark on reception at the Flint Glass Works this morning. Mark was extremely helpful in helping me locate a machine which had been left in an empty office space. Thank you Mark for all your help.

  • Had a really good moving in experience with Northern Group. I have no complaints and had any questions answered straight away by Katie; who was incredibly helpful. The apartment building seems to be well maintained and quiet. Overall would recommend Northern Group to anyone looking to rent in Manchester.
