Bush & Co Lettings Agency Cambridge

Tenant Information & Fees

Tenants information

When you are looking for a new home to rent, choosing the right lettings agent is important. At Bush & Co we offer a comprehensive service to tenants looking to rent a new home in Cambridge and the surrounding villages.

Our experienced team can guide you through the process.

Transparency on fees

We believe in being completely transparent about the fees you can expect to pay, and we’re here to assist you with insurance matters as well. It’s important to note that we highly recommend insuring your personal belongings. Typically, landlords only insure the building and their own contents, leaving your possessions unprotected. To make this process as easy as possible for you, we can connect you with a dedicated insurance broker who specialises in Tenant Insurance Policies. This way, you can secure coverage tailored to your needs and have peace of mind knowing your belongings are safeguarded. Your comfort and protection are our top priorities.

Deposit in safe-hands

Rest assured that your deposit is in safe hands and will be protected under The Tenancy Deposit Scheme. This means you can have peace of mind knowing that your hard-earned money is safeguarded throughout your tenancy. When the time comes for you to move on, provided everything is in order and there are no outstanding issues, you can expect a swift and hassle-free return of your deposit. We understand that this is an important aspect of your renting experience, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth process so that you can readily access your deposit funds without any unnecessary delays. Your satisfaction and trust in our services are of utmost importance to us.

Streamlined move-in process

Once you have picked your new home we will guide you through the formalities as we make referencing checks and prepare you for the day you move in. So, if you’ve found the home you are looking for then send us an e-mail, give us a call or pop in to our office and let’s get started!

‘I recently moved from another Letting management company to Bush to manage my property rental. The team have been excellent, very competent and quick to deal with problems and organise repairs.

‘I've been with Bush for around 20 years, and they have always been extremely professional, efficient, and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended.’

'Always ready to help in any problems selling our property, which were dealt with in a very professional manner. I would not hesitate in using Bush in the future, or recommend them to my friends.’

‘I became an accidental landlord in Cambridge over 20 years ago and with no experience and living 100 miles away I entrusted full management to Bush. I have always valued my relationship with them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.'
