Why you should rent a property from Philip James?

FINDING YOUR PERFECT HOME

Our properties are available to rent in Manchester City Centre, Didsbury, Withington, Heaton Moor, Stockport, Reddish, Fallowfield, Salford, Salford Quays and many more areas. Our state of the art technology allows you to keep up to date with all the new properties that come on the market on a daily basis with the information being sent direct to your email.

ONCE YOU HAVE FOUND A PROPERTY

After you have viewed a property you would like to take we will then liaise on your behalf with the landlord to agree a moving in date and the amount of rent. Once you have paid your holding deposit of one weeks rent the property will be taken off the market and no one else will be able to view your property.

Renting through Philip James

BEFORE YOU MOVE INTO YOUR PROPERTY

Upon completing an application and after referencing is complete, you will pay the balance of your deposit which will be insured with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. Before your move in date we will get all the keys for your property ready and complete a full photographic inventory to record the condition of the property on move in.

Your money is in safe hands! We are part of Propertymark Client Money Protection scheme.
