Welcome to Africa Drive
Africa Drive is a superb modern home built by Barratt Homes. This stylish apartment was the show home for the site and is located just off St Georges Quay, One of Lancaster's most fashionable and in demand areas.
Live here because you want easy access to the city centre yet you want to the enjoy the peaceful views as you enjoy Riverside walks. You'll find great transport links with a bus stop close by and the train station less than a 10 minute walk.
Inside Africa Drive
The main private entrance to the front of the building opens up into a small hallway and there are stairs leading you up to the first floor level. There is space here to hang your coats and take off your shoes before stepping through to the lounge.
Once you are in the main living area you will see there is space to lounge and dine. The room offers a dual aspect over both the front and rear of the home with a Juliet balcony to the front with French doors which is a great addition and will come in handy during the summer months. Just off the dining area is the fully fitted kitchen. This modern and stylish room has ample storage and work space to three sides. The owners have included an electric oven, fridge/freezer and a washing machine for you also.
The integral hallway has a built in storage cupboard along with a hatch which opens up to the loft area and from here you can access both the bedroom and bathroom.
The bedroom is a great sized double room which looks out over the front of the home and down Africa Drive. There is plenty of space for all the expected bedroom furniture we all have and the decor is neutral, crisp and clean. Tenants will also find the bathroom has been fitted with a three piece suite in white which offers a shower above the bath to give the best of both worlds. The room has been partially tiled and has a frosted double glazed window to the rear elevation.
To the front of the home is the main entrance and also access to all the meters for the home can be easily gained. Once you are round to the rear you will find yourself in the communal car park which offers two allocated parking bays for you to use. There is also a private storage room for you to use which has power and light and would be ideal for bikes or just for general bits and pieces.
Application Information
If you have seen our virtual viewing video, and are interested in applying for the property please follow the link to the application page (This may only appear on the web version rather than the app). We will need one application per household. The landlord will make a decision on which applicant they wish to proceed with and their decision will be final. If your application is accepted, we will then be able to get a physical viewing booked in.
Cost Information
If your application is successful and, following a viewing, you proceed to referencing stage, a holding deposit equal to £150.00 will be taken via our referencing platform Goodlord this will then go towards your first month's rent when the tenancy starts.
The holding deposit will be retained by the agent if the tenancy falls through for one of the following reasons:

3. Default fee for late payment of rent (after 14 days)
4. Reasonable charges for lost keys or security fobs
5. Payments associated with contract variation, at £50 or reasonable costs incurred if higher, when requested by the tenant

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 £150.00 instead of a cash deposit which will be £750.00. 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.
Best Estate Agent Guide

Every year, a rigorous assessment is carried out of every estate and letting agent in the country. There are 15,000 estate agencies and each one is assessed for property marketing, customer service and results, including how quickly they sell or let and the percentage of the price achieved compared with other agents in the same location. No agent pays to enter.
The very best agents are listed in The Best Estate Agent Guide – a website for landlords and sellers to help them choose whom to sell or let their property. Jdg Estate Agents didn't just win the best in Lancaster and Morecambe, nor the Northwest. We won the very best estate agent in the UK for both sales and lettings.
