Your stay.
Our expertise.
From your first message to your key handover, one dedicated person handles your London move — viewings, contracts, deposit protection and everything in between. In English or 中文.
Finding homes across the capital
We only work in London — so we know which buildings, streets and developments suit students, and which to avoid. From Canary Wharf to Chiswick, we have placed tenants right across the city.
Relationships built to last
We don’t just find you a property — we stay with you. Every client gets a dedicated point of contact, honest advice, and the kind of attentive service that turns a one-time rental into a long-term partnership.
Operating wherever our clients need us to be, Maxinest offers a bespoke service that keeps us local experts and globally informed.

The people behind your move
A small team, one point of contact each, and a shared belief that everyone relocating to London deserves more than a list of available properties.

Questions we’re asked most
Can I secure a home before I arrive in London?
Yes. Most of our tenants book from overseas. We arrange video viewings, send the contract for e-signature and accept international payment, so the keys are ready when you land.
Do I need a UK guarantor?
No UK guarantor is required for most of our homes. Where referencing can’t be completed we’ll explain the options — such as a UK-based guarantor or a guarantor service — before you commit. In line with the Renters’ Rights Act we never ask for more than one month’s rent in advance.
How is my deposit protected?
Every deposit is registered with mydeposits, a government-approved scheme, within 30 days. You receive the certificate and prescribed information by email.
What does the rent include?
Rent covers the home itself. Utilities (electricity, gas, water, broadband) are set up for you and are usually billed separately; we tell you the typical monthly cost for your building up front.
Do students pay council tax?
Full-time students are exempt. We show you how to obtain your exemption certificate from your university and send it to the council.
