Location Information
Please note that this property is in a very rural location, around 10 minutes from Cockerham village and around 25 minutes from Lancaster City Centre.
Utility Information
Due to the nature of the development and the caravan site to the rear, the water and gas are supplied from one source via the landlord. This means that you will not have the option to change gas suppliers and will be charged for water and gas directly by the landlord. Both water and gas are metered so you will only pay for what you use and this will be billed directly from the landlord on a periodic basis. The cost of gas will fluctuate depending on the cost paid by the landlord to the supplier. You are able to select your own electricity supplier and will pay this directly to the supplier.
This is a non-negotiable aspect of the tenancy.

Reposit - Nil Deposit Scheme
We’ve partnered with a company called Reposit who offer an alternative to paying a cash deposit. By using Reposit you can save a lot of money upfront as you will only need to pay the Reposit fee of £155.76 instead of a cash deposit which will be £778.00 The Reposit fee is not refundable at the end of the tenancy. You can use the money you save to spend on something you actually want!
Please note that just like a normal deposit, you are still liable for any valid, end of tenancy charges. The difference with Reposit is that you keep control of your cash and only pay these if they actually occur at the end of your tenancy, rather than paying at the start. If you stay beyond a 12 month period, a £30 charge will be payable to reposit once a year to continue the cover.
This is optional and a normal deposit scheme is also available. Reposit is subject to certain referencing criteria and may not be granted following referencing
