Rent with Book A Room

 

At Book A Room we have been renting apartments and houses in Waterford City and County for 13 years. Our experience and knowledge means that we get the best results for our landlords and tenants. Renting is our business. Tenants today expect a high quality service. That is why Book A Room is the only rental agency in Waterford to have a dedicated maintenance department. Delivering this service is an integral part of our business. Our tenant-centric approach benefits our landlords as it reinforces tenant confidence and promotes rental longevity.

 

We understand that renting is not just about finding tenants, it's really a matching service. Getting that match right is what we do really well. We don't just rent houses - we find the right homes for the right people. We are committed to maximising lettings from our rental portfolio by going one step beyond our competitors. Our property search excels at placing property hunters within clicks of finding the best rented accommodation.

 

Our staff are highly trained and have a positive can-do attitude. We promise to make the experience of finding a home easy for our tenants. This attitude results in success for our landlords. Everyone is motivated and we really enjoy what we do.

 

Before we rent to a prospective tenant we make sure we do all the things you expect, such as reference checks, registration, collection of rent & deposit, standing order forms, identification checks, PPS & DOB, and most importantly you can rely on our experience and intuition.
