Pet Policy

Living Here
Not just a home for humans. Pets are welcome here too.
Pets are very welcome at Corkfield, so feel free to bring your furry friends.

We love pets here in Corkfield and welcome our residents to bring their pet along to enhance their lifestyle and living experience. We have a few regulations and rules which need to be followed to ensure all residents have a good experience throughout their stay.

There is a maximum allowance for 2 pets per property. All residents’ animals must be registered and approved by us. We will require the following information in order to confirm approval for you to keep the pet:

Permission to keep a pet

By providing the details of your Pet above you are making a request to keep that Pet at the Property. Nothing in this policy constitutes our agreement for you to keep the Pet at the Property. We will confirm in writing whether you have permission to keep the Pet at the Property

We will not grant permission for you to keep any pets other than dogs, cats, fish and birds. Exotic pets including large exotic birds such as parrots and macaws are not allowed. All animals listed in the schedule of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 or listed within the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 will be forbidden.

Aquariums with a volume over 90 litres are not allowed.

If we grant permission for you to keep a pet, you will be required to sign a pet agreement which will set out your obligations.

Pet perks

We are proud of our community and love hosting resident events. This includes socials for pets so please look out for our e-newsletter to ensure you and your pet don’t miss out! Events such as Yappy Hour encourage our resident pets to meet up and go for a walk together. We can also point you in the right direction for the best dog walks and dog walking services in town.

We have a bar situated in our communal area. Feel free to give your dog a treat, some water on the way in/out or simply play some games to make full use of our bark bar.

We love showing off our pets within the community so feel free to send in some pictures for us to share on our social media of your pet enjoying their home and environment.

We also have pooch pods alongside working desks located in our communal areas where your pets can be with you whilst you are working. The pets have to be accompanied at all times.

If any of the points are unclear, please contact the community support team to discuss them further.
