Absolutely. Many of our students & residents come from overseas and move straight into our properties as soon as they land in the UK. As with any application, you’ll need to complete tenant referencing checks with our referencing company Rightmove Referencing. For applicants moving to the UK from overseas, you’ll need a reference from your University or an Employer and your previous landlord and will also have your Right to Rent and credit score checked.

You are welcome to walk in and have a tour or book an appointment at Foregaterental office, appointments will ensure we have someone ready for you when you arrive. Tours typically take place between 10 am and 7pm on Monday – Friday and 11am – 4pm at weekends.

Due to the UK Right to Rent policy, we are required to obtain and check all original identification of non-EU tenant(s) to show that they are legally allowed to Study & live in the UK. These documents are normally checked at the application stage, so please be prepared to show your identification to our team.

Documents must be obtained and checked for all tenants wishing to live in the apartment; if a tenant is not present at viewing or a virtual viewing is arranged, a copy of the document must be sent via email to the Foregaterental Team, who will then be required to see the tenant and check the document via Skype or FaceTime before agreeing a contract. Documents will also need to be verified in person upon arrival for move-in.

In Chester, most of the landlords are pets friendly apartments.

There will be a monthly pet rent of £xx per pet per month (maximum of two). During the property viewing we will let you know the exact cost per month for the pets.

This contributes to the additional communal cleaning and maintenance required with having pets in the building. Unfortunately, there are some breed restrictions in place, so please contact us for full details.
