Real Stories From Real Tenants
Hundreds of tenants trust Sterling. Here's what they have to say.
“Sterling made my move-in completely stress-free. The property was spotless, everything worked perfectly, and any small issues were fixed within 24 hours. Best letting agency I've ever dealt with. I've already recommended them to three friends.”
“I had a boiler issue on a Sunday evening and their emergency line picked up immediately. An engineer was at my door within 2 hours. You can't ask for better than that.”
“The tenant portal is brilliant — I pay rent, report issues, and access my documents all in one place. It's so much better than chasing emails with previous agents.”
“No hidden fees, clear communication, and they actually listen to tenants. When I needed to extend my lease, the process was smooth and straightforward.”
“Moving cities was stressful but Sterling matched me with the perfect flat in under a week. The whole application and move-in was handled professionally.”
“As a first-time renter I had so many questions. My advisor was patient, helpful, and made me feel confident about the whole process. Deposit was returned in full within a week.”
Questions? We've Got Answers
Everything you need to know about renting with Sterling. Quick answers to help you move in with confidence.
You'll need photo ID (passport or driving licence), proof of income (3 months' payslips or tax returns), proof of address, and a reference from your current or previous landlord. We also run a credit check and affordability assessment through our referencing partner.
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, your deposit is capped at 5 weeks' rent (for annual rents under £50,000). Your deposit is protected in a government-approved scheme and will be returned within 10 days of your tenancy ending, subject to any agreed deductions.
Typically 2-5 working days from when all documents are submitted. We use a trusted third-party referencing service that checks employment, previous landlord references, credit history, and right to rent. We'll keep you updated throughout.
Log in to your tenant portal and submit a maintenance request with photos if possible. For emergencies (flood, gas leak, no heating in winter), call our 24/7 emergency line directly. Non-urgent issues are typically addressed within 48 hours.
This depends on the individual property and landlord. Many of our landlords are pet-friendly. Let us know your requirements when you enquire and we'll filter properties accordingly. If pets are allowed, there may be specific terms in your tenancy agreement.
We'll arrange a check-out inspection, compare it to your check-in inventory, and process your deposit return. We aim to return deposits within 10 days. If there are any proposed deductions, we'll discuss them with you transparently before processing.
If you need to leave before your fixed term ends, contact us as soon as possible. We can discuss options including finding a replacement tenant or negotiating a surrender with your landlord. Early termination terms will be outlined in your agreement.
Rent is paid monthly via your tenant portal - you can set up a standing order or pay by card. You'll receive automatic reminders before rent is due, and all payment history is available in your portal for your records.
