An alternative deposit scheme can make letting your property quicker, more secure, and more appealing to tenants — without increasing the risk for you. Through our partnership with Reposit, Northwood offers a modern alternative to traditional cash deposits, giving landlords up to 8 weeks’ worth of protection (compared to the usual 5 weeks), faster dispute resolution, and no upfront cost. For tenants, the lower move-in cost increases demand and reduces void periods, while landlords benefit from greater protection, quicker lets, and a fully FCA-regulated, insurance-backed solution that keeps you covered from start to finish
