FAQs About Rooms to Rent in Exeter
Common questions about renting a room as a professional in Exeter.
Who are your rooms to rent in Exeter suitable for?
Our rooms to rent in Exeter are primarily aimed at working professionals and postgraduates who want a well-managed, friendly house share. We focus on tenants who value a quiet, respectful home and clear agreements.
Are bills included in the rent?
Many of our professional house shares in Exeter are offered on a bills included or part-bills-included basis (for example, utilities and Wi-Fi). The exact arrangement is always set out clearly in the advertising details and your tenancy agreement before you sign.
What checks do you carry out before I can rent a room?
We carry out standard referencing for professional tenants, which can include identity checks, credit checks, income or employment verification and previous landlord references. This helps to ensure that everyone in the house share is suitably vetted and that the tenancy is sustainable.
What is the minimum tenancy length for a room?
Minimum tenancy lengths vary by property, but most of our rooms to rent in Exeter are offered on fixed terms of 6–12 months, sometimes with the option to renew. We'll confirm the term, notice periods and any break clauses before you commit.
Can couples or friends rent rooms in the same house?
In many cases, yes. Some house shares are single-occupancy only, while others can accommodate couples or friends renting separate rooms in the same property. Let us know your situation and we'll advise which professional lets in Exeter are suitable.
Do you accept postgraduates or mature students as 'professionals'?
We often accept postgraduate students and mature students who have a professional approach, stable funding or part-time work and are looking for quieter accommodation. Tell us more about your course and circumstances and we'll match you with appropriate rooms to rent in Exeter.
How do I arrange a viewing for a room in Exeter?
Once you've seen a room you're interested in, contact us with the property address or reference and your availability. We'll explain the next steps, arrange a viewing and outline what documents you'll need if you choose to apply.
I'm a landlord – can you help me let rooms to professionals in Exeter?
Yes. Gillams Properties can let and manage professional house shares in Exeter, including marketing individual rooms, referencing tenants, handling deposits and ongoing management. If you're considering switching from student lets or starting a new professional HMO, we can advise on demand, compliance and returns.
