Rental process
Apex One is a development of 204 high-specification apartments for rent. Residents benefit from a variety of thoughtfully curated indoor and outdoor resident spaces, including a gym, lounge, co-working spaces and a cinema room.
In addition, a range of leisure and retail outlets are scheduled to launch on The Boulevard All of this on the doorstep of a beautiful 17-acre tree-lined park.
Apex One is located in the heart of Nine Elms, a short walk from the American Embassy and Battersea Power Station. The site is directly next to the Nine Elms tube station, giving it exceptional transport connections into central London. Battersea and Vauxhall stations are also only short walks away.
Anyone over the age of 18 with the right to live in the UK is eligible to rent an apartment, provided they can pass credit checks and prove they meet an affordability check. Those who cannot pass the affordability check may still be allowed to rent if they have a suitable guarantor. We also partner with a guarantor alternative service who provide a suitable guarantee for an additional fee.
Build-to-Rent (BTR) is a type of rental accommodation that is purpose-built and professionally managed specifically for renters. Unlike renting from an individual landlord, Build-to-Rent developments are owned and managed by a dedicated team whose focus is on providing a high-quality rental experience. Residents benefit from professionally maintained homes, on-site management, resident amenities and a long-term approach to customer service.
While every landlord is different, many residents prefer Build-to-Rent because it offers a more professional and consistent rental experience. At Apex One, residents benefit from a dedicated on-site team, professional maintenance services, resident events, inclusive 1GB broadband, secure cycle storage and access to a range of resident spaces and leisure outlets. There is no risk of a private landlord deciding to sell the property, and our team is available to support residents throughout their tenancy.
