Good Day,

Thank you for your email in regards to housing and Services and Placement takes pleasure to welcome students to Anguilla and the upcoming school term. Your requests have been acknowledged and kept on our records. 

It is SPI interest to be of service to you, providing vast options for your housing needs.   Your preferences may not be available also due to increasing student rentals every term or any other factors, however SPI will assist you with the best possible options. 
Please regard the information below concerning the viewing and settling process for units that you will choose. 

Appointments
These are flexible times depending on your arrival or date set.
Please also note that the units that are on the website as well as referred by the agent are contracted to Services and Placement Inc.  It is only the agent who is responsible to take you to the units once your appointment is set.  If there be a cancellation, please notify the agent.

Securing a unit
Please note that only wire transfer, cash, travellers or personal cheques at the local banks are the required options when leaving a deposit on the unit. 

Deposit
Even though landlords do have different arrangements, the first month’s rental and a security deposit which is normally the same amount as the monthly rental is the standard requirement when securing a unit.   Managers and personal offshore cheques are not allowed.  This deposit is made payable to the Agent or to the account of Services and Placement Inc.   The unit is guaranteed as secured when a contract is signed and deposit received.

Contracts
Residential leases / contract are ultimately long-term up to a year or more.  These can however be adjusted based on landlords discretion. 


Transportation cost
There is also a $20.us charge for the viewing of properties from the website and an appointment date is required.

Brief housing orientation
Housing in Anguilla is moderately Caribbean and traditional. There are a few contemporary designed units but are rather sometimes costly and may rarely be available.
SPI attempts to negotiate for both parties fairly. Price range from 650 - 800 for one bedroom units or 800 -1500 for two bedroom units. These are only the student pricing and these may or may not include the utilities. You may have to prepare to budget an extra 200 u$ in order to accommodate for units which do not include the utilities.
Anguilla is 16 miles wide and three miles long therefore the furthest you can live from school will be approximately 20-30mins (driving distance). The school normally provides transportation.
Houses may or may not be located on dirt rocky roads as well; therefore the idea of nice smooth roads at all-time should not be an expectation. Conservation is a necessity when it comes to both water and electricity. All houses are built with cisterns to keep water. Filling up these are 280-300 us dollars. Houses have mostly ceiling fans. Only a few have air conditioning units and most landlords prefer their tenants to stand the cost of electricity especially the ones with a/c.
Pets
Most units do not take pets but it is up to the landlord’s discretion to negotiate.  In some cases they may take an extra deposit for this. 

Should there be any more concerns in regards to setting up an appointment, please email your preferred date or feel free to email <!-- e --><a href="mailto:spi.anguilla@gmail.com">spi.anguilla@gmail.com</a><!-- e --> or contact 1 264-584-1138. 

Thank you and looking forward to assist you.

Regards,
Stacey Porter,
Manager
Services and Placement Inc.
