The properties are available from 3pm on the commencement day. If you arrive before that time you may not be able to access the property as we take a pride in the preparation.

What time do you have to depart

It is important that you leave no later than 10am. When you leave you simply lock the door and return the keys to the safe. No need to return them to an agency. Please note that we take pride in the preparation of the property and this takes time.
