Flexie Estate Agents finds, references and moves in tenants for landlords in Stanpit, the village on the north shore of Christchurch Harbour between Purewell and Mudeford. We can then collect the rent or manage the house completely. Homes here are mainly bungalows and family houses, and they let to people who want the water and the town within a mile.
This page is the Stanpit detail of our letting agents service. The village is described on estate agents in Stanpit.
What lets in Stanpit
- Family houses with gardens. Three bedrooms, a drive, a garden that backs towards the marsh or the harbour if you are lucky. Families on long tenancies, often with a dog.
- Bungalows. Level homes for older tenants and couples, close to the town centre and the bus.
- Small flats. One and two bedrooms, let to single professionals working in Christchurch or at Hurn who want the station a mile away.
The questions applicants ask first are about parking, a garden for a dog, the walk to the marsh and the drive to work along the A35.
How we let a Stanpit home
We visit, check the certificates and the EPC, and give you a rent range with reasons. Before that, the instant rent estimate gives a first figure. We photograph the home, prepare a floor plan, and send the listing to people registered with us for a home in Christchurch before it goes on the portals.
We accompany viewings, take a holding deposit of no more than one week's rent, and reference every adult for identity, Right to Rent, credit, income and a landlord reference. The tenancy agreement follows the Renters' Rights Act; the deposit is protected within 30 days; the prescribed information, the How to Rent guide and the certificates are served; and the inventory is photographed on the day.
Checks before move in
A gas safety certificate where there is gas, an electrical installation condition report no older than five years, a smoke alarm on each storey, a carbon monoxide alarm by any fixed combustion appliance, an EPC at band E or above, and Right to Rent checks for every adult. On low ground beside the harbour, add a check that your landlord insurance covers the address. The landlord legal checklist lists everything.
Choosing the right kind of let
A Stanpit house does not have to go to a tenant. Furnished homes can earn through long term lets in Stanpit, to contractors and people between homes, or through winter lets in Stanpit, when birdwatchers and visiting families fill the quiet months. Once a tenant is in, property management in Stanpit carries on. If you are considering a sale, see selling your property in Stanpit and property valuation in Stanpit. We let across the town on the same terms: letting agents in Christchurch.
The Stanpit property market
Stanpit is a residential village on the north shore of Christchurch Harbour, about a mile east of Christchurch town centre between Purewell and Mudeford. Its bungalows and family houses rent to families and couples who want the harbour and the marsh close by, and sell for less than homes at Mudeford Quay.
Stanpit lets to people who want to live near the water and the town at once. It is a mile from Christchurch station and the high street, with the harbour, the marsh and Mudeford Quay on the other side, and that pulls in families, couples who sail or walk, people working in Christchurch and at the airport, and retirees renting before they buy.
The stock is houses and bungalows with gardens, plus a few small flats. Houses let to families on long tenancies; bungalows let to older tenants who want level access; flats let to single professionals and couples.
Three local points shape a let here.
Flood risk and insurance. Parts of the village are low-lying beside the harbour. Landlord insurance must cover the address, and tenants increasingly ask about it.
Dogs. Stanpit Marsh and the recreation ground make this a dog owner's address. A clear pet policy, agreed before marketing, widens the field of tenants.
Licensing. A house shared by five or more people in two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence from BCP Council. Family lets do not.
Who rents and buys in Stanpit
- Families priced out of Mudeford. Stanpit gives families the harbour, the beach and Mudeford Quay within about a mile, at lower prices and rents than homes on the Quay itself. That makes it a first choice for people who want the area without the premium.
- Sailors and harbour users. Christchurch Harbour has three sailing clubs, including Mudeford Sailing Club on the north shore. Members and paddleboarders rent and buy close to the water, and value a garage or a drive for a dinghy.
- Retirees and downsizers. Bungalows on level ground, a mile from the town centre and close to the marsh walks, suit people retiring to Christchurch. They buy, and they rent while a sale elsewhere completes.
- People working in Christchurch and at Hurn. The village is close to the A35, the town centre and the station. Hospital staff, airport contractors and people relocating for work rent here for the short drive and the quiet.
Let furnished, from 28 nights, all year round.
A furnished flat in Stanpit 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 Stanpit: questions
Who rents in Stanpit?
Families who want the harbour, Avon Beach and the Mudeford schools for less than Mudeford rents, couples who sail or walk the marsh, people working in Christchurch town centre or at the airport, and retirees renting while they sell elsewhere. Small flats let to single professionals.
Should I accept a tenant with a dog in Stanpit?
It is worth considering. Stanpit Marsh and the recreation ground next to it draw dog owners, so a pet-friendly house reaches more applicants. Under the Renters' Rights Act tenants can ask to keep a pet and a landlord cannot unreasonably refuse, at the time of writing. We agree the terms and insurance with you first.
Does flood risk affect letting a Stanpit house?
It affects insurance and sometimes the questions tenants ask. Check the address on the Environment Agency's flood risk service, confirm your landlord policy covers it, and keep a plan for what happens if water gets in. We note it at the valuation and in the management file.
What are your letting service levels in Stanpit?
Tenant find, rent collection and fully managed. Each includes the valuation, marketing, viewings, referencing, the tenancy agreement and the deposit. Rent collection adds collection and arrears chasing; fully managed adds inspections, repairs and compliance renewals. Fees are confirmed in writing before you instruct us.
How long does it take to let a house in Stanpit?
It depends on the house, the rent and the time of year. Family houses let best ahead of the school year and in spring; bungalows let steadily to older tenants. We give a realistic timescale after the visit rather than a general promise.

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.
