Flexie Estate Agents lets family houses and waterside flats in Hamworthy for landlords who want a referenced tenant, every legal check done and, if they choose, the whole tenancy run for them. This page is the Hamworthy detail behind our letting agents service; the peninsula itself is described on our Hamworthy area page.
What lets in Hamworthy
- Family houses around Hamworthy Park and towards Rockley. Three bedrooms, a garden and a drive. Families, service households and couples with a van take them, and they tend to stay for years.
- Turlin Moor and the BH16 edge. Smaller, lower-priced houses that let to local families and working tenants.
- Waterside flats near the Twin Sails Bridge. One and two bedrooms in newer leasehold schemes, let to single professionals and couples who walk to the Quay and Poole station.
A house with a drive and a flat with a parking space both let to a wider pool of tenants than one without.
How we let your Hamworthy home
Valuation. We visit, read the lease where there is one, check the EPC and give a rent range with the reasons. The instant rent estimate gives a first figure online.
Marketing. Photographs, a floor plan and a listing on the portals and to our register of tenants, which includes people relocating to Poole and staff working on the peninsula.
Referencing. Identity, Right to Rent, credit, income and a previous landlord reference on every adult, with a guarantor where the affordability test needs one. Our guide to tenant referencing explains each step.
Move in. An agreement written to the Renters' Rights Act, the deposit protected within 30 days, the prescribed information and the How to Rent guide served, and a photographed inventory.
The rules a Hamworthy let has to meet
At the time of writing, every assured tenancy in England is periodic, section 21 has gone, and rent rises once a year by section 13 notice. Before a tenant moves in the home needs a gas safety certificate where there is gas, an EICR no more than five years old, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, an EPC of E or better and Right to Rent checks. A house shared by unrelated tenants may need a BCP HMO licence. We organise all of it.
Management, furnished stays and selling
Once a tenant is in, property management in Hamworthy covers repairs, inspections and arrears. A furnished home can instead be let by the month to contractors through long term lets in Hamworthy, or from November to March through winter lets in Hamworthy. If you are deciding whether to keep or sell, property valuation in Hamworthy gives both a rental and a sale figure, and selling your property in Hamworthy explains the sale. We let on the same terms across the bridges in Poole.
The Hamworthy property market
Hamworthy is the harbour peninsula west of Poole's two lifting bridges: family houses around Hamworthy Park, newer waterside flats by the Twin Sails Bridge, and the port on its eastern shore. Tenants and buyers come for work at the port, the boatyards and the Royal Marines base as much as for the water, so demand runs through the year.
Hamworthy lets on work and on space. The Port of Poole, Sunseeker's yard on New Quay Road and Royal Marines Poole on Napier Road employ people in every month, and the families and single professionals who work there want a home on the peninsula. Three-bedroom houses with a drive near Hamworthy Park let to families and service households; the waterside flats near the Twin Sails Bridge let to couples and single tenants who walk to Poole station.
Three local points affect a Hamworthy landlord.
Council. Hamworthy, including Turlin Moor, is in BCP Council's area, so BCP's mandatory and additional HMO licensing rules apply to shared houses. Upton, next door in BH16, is Dorset Council's.
Leases. The newer waterside schemes are leasehold, and some leases need consent to let or set conditions on tenants. Read it before you advertise.
Parking. A tenant with a van needs a drive, and the flats near the bridge often have one space or none. Say exactly what comes with the home.
Who rents and buys in Hamworthy
- The port and the boatyards. Engineers, fitters and freight contractors at the Port of Poole and the yacht yards need somewhere to live for the length of a job, from a month to a year, and want parking for a van.
- Royal Marines Poole. The base on Napier Road brings service families, staff on postings and contractors who rent while they wait for quarters or a purchase.
- Value against the rest of Poole. First-time buyers and families who are priced out of Parkstone and Canford Cliffs buy and rent here for a garden, a drive and the Quay over the bridge.
- The waterside flats. Single professionals and couples rent and buy the newer apartments near the Twin Sails Bridge for the walk to Poole station, the Quay and the town centre.
Let furnished, from 28 nights, all year round.
A furnished flat in Hamworthy does not have to sit on a twelve-month tenancy or empty from November. Through the group's platform, Flexiestays, it can be let to contractors, relocations, hospital staff and visiting families for a month or more at a time.
- Stays of a month to several months
- Guests looking for somewhere to live, not a holiday
- Fills the gaps between tenancies and summers

Our fees in fullLetting agents in Hamworthy: questions
Who rents homes in Hamworthy?
Families who want a garden and a drive, service households linked to Royal Marines Poole, workers at the port and Sunseeker, and single professionals in the waterside flats who commute from Hamworthy or Poole station. Most tenants work locally rather than commute out of the area.
Do I need an HMO licence to let my Hamworthy house to sharers?
If five or more people from two or more households share it, yes, under BCP Council's mandatory scheme. BCP also runs additional licensing for smaller HMOs in some areas. We check the address on BCP's licensing pages before we market a house to sharers.
Can I let my waterside flat near the Twin Sails Bridge?
Usually, but the lease decides the terms. Some leases need the freeholder's consent, require a minimum term or restrict who can occupy. We read the lease and the management company's rules before we market the flat, and tell you if anything needs consent first.
Do tenants mind the lifting bridges?
Most tenants who work on the peninsula never need to cross at rush hour. For those who commute into Poole by car, both bridges lift for boats, which can add a wait. We mention it at viewings so the tenant who signs knows the area.
What do your letting services in Hamworthy include?
Three levels: tenant find, rent collection and fully managed. Each covers marketing, referencing, Right to Rent checks, the agreement and the deposit; the higher tiers add collection, inspections, repairs and compliance. Fees are confirmed in writing before you instruct us.

Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
