Houses and flats to rent in Marshalswick.

Houses to rent in Marshalswick

Marshalswick grew from the 1920s, after the old mansion was sold, with a larger estate following from the 1950s. So most of the homes here were built in the twentieth century, and many are family houses.

Across the St Albans district, average rents for houses run from £1,801 a month for a terrace to £2,174 for a semi-detached home and £2,672 for a detached one, according to the latest ONS figures. See the homes we have available now, which are kept up to date on Rightmove.

Bungalows to rent in Marshalswick

When we have a bungalow to let, it’s listed with our other homes. We don’t always have one available, so the quickest way is to tell us you’re looking: call 01727 761816 or tell us what you need, and we’ll let you know when something suitable comes up.

If you need a home on one level, or with step-free access, say so when you get in touch. The ONS doesn’t publish a separate rent figure for bungalows, so we’ll tell you what similar homes have let for.

Cottages to rent near Marshalswick

Because Marshalswick was built from the 1920s onwards, period cottages are rare here. For a cottage, look to the villages nearby. Sandridge is under two miles from our office, with Heartwood Forest on the doorstep. Wheathampstead, about four miles away, has a historic centre and listed buildings. We cover both.

What homes rent for locally

These are the latest official figures. The ONS publishes them for the whole St Albans district, which includes Marshalswick, not for Marshalswick on its own. They’re averages across all private tenancies, including existing ones, so they won’t match asking prices on Rightmove.

How renting with us works

• Viewing. Viewings are accompanied, so ask anything you like while you’re there: council tax band, bills, parking, what the area is like.
• Holding deposit. One week’s rent reserves the home while we take up references.
• Referencing. We ask for three years of addresses, a credit check, a reference from your landlord or agent and one from your employer. We also carry out a Right to Rent check.
• Signing. You sign the tenancy agreement, then pay the first month’s rent and the deposit. The deposit is up to five weeks’ rent and is protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days.
• Your tenancy. Tenancies in England are now month to month, with no fixed term. If you want to leave, you give at least two months’ written notice.
