Exclusive to our Zone 1 properties, you can apply for the opportunity to volunteer for 20 hours/week and get your rent and meals for free!

What type of volunteering will I be doing?

You will be assisting around the property in the following areas;

• Reception / Admin
• Catering / Kitchen hands
• Housekeeping
• Grounds work and gardening

Our course! Our UK team have all lived in London before (some even in our houses!) and can tell you all about our properties and options, to help you make the best choice for you.

Pre-departure you will have the opportunity to decide if you want to start in our Zone 1 properties or Zones 2-4 shared houses. You will also have the opportunity to put down a preference for your room configuration.

On arrival in London you will be invited for Orientation where you will come into our Head Office and run through all the options for the available houses and rooms that week. In the following days you’ll then have the opportunity to go out and view all the properties and decided which one you’d like to move in to from there.

Just like any rental property, there are move in costs and ongoing rental payments associated. Through our Accommodation and Visa package or Jumpstart London package we try to make it as cost effective and simple for you as possible.

Pre-departure

During the application process you’ll decide on which type of accommodation you’d like to stay in. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose which starting week you’ll be arriving in London. Following this, you’ll be required to pay a £200 accommodation holding deposit to confirm your booking. This is so that we know we have a tenant arriving on these dates, and you know that we have a room set aside for you. The £200 will then go towards your bond for the property, when you move in on your arrivals week. When you eventually move out, you will be returned this deposit (as long your rent is up to date and everything is in the same condition as when you first moved in).

Move-in

You will be required to pay your first 2-4 weeks rent upfront, depending on your property type.

You will also be required to pay a key deposit, which you will get back when you vacate the property – provided you return the key.

Ongoing

Rental payments will be payable either weekly fortnightly or monthly, depending on your property type. 90% of our properties have all your bills included in the rent. If you move into a property where for example the water bill is separate, then the rental figure will be lower and reflective of this.

At TWHC we understand that you want to make the most of your working holiday and go travelling as often as you can! That’s why we don’t believe in any long term lock in leases, as a rental agency would require you to sign a 6 month or 12 month minimum lease.

Our leases are travel flexible. Once you have moved into the property and paid your move in costs, your rent will be periodic and ongoing and you can live there indefinitely. At any point if you want to move out and go travelling, it will only ever be a 2 week or a 4 week notice period for you to move out.

If you are then returning back to London after your travel, we only ever need 21 days notice to get you back into a property.

THAT MEANS YOU CAN TRAVEL RENT FREE!!!
