Moving In

Pembroke Street is a great place to live. If you have just moved into a property in our community – welcome!

After the end of every tenancy, the PEMB maintenance team undertakes repair and other work prior to a new tenancy starting. If on moving in, you think there is some work which we have missed during the turnaround period, please let us know. You can contact the Estate Office either via telephone on 01752 607277, email office@pembrokestreet.co.uk or by the online contact form.

Gas and Electricity Utility Accounts

On leaving your property, your gas and electricity accounts should be debt free. This is important for the incoming tenant/s.

If you use a prepayment card or key for gas and/or electricity, these should be left in the property with a minimum of £2.00 on each account.

If you use a prepayment smart meter, the same applies.

Please make sure you leave the details of the utility supplier, and any appropriate account details, in case additional credit needs to be added or if the new tenant wishes to change supplier.

Moving Out

This page provides useful information on the expectations around the condition of the property at the end of your tenancy which, if you meet them, you will avoid being recharged for the extra work that the maintenance team may have to carry out. See our rechargeable repair costs information.

Overall, when moving out please make sure the property is

left in good condition, with no major defects;

cleared of all furniture and possessions, including anything in the shed, and

clean overall.

make sure all surfaces are free from of dirt and grease, including the extractor fans, cupboards, drawers and windowsills
