FAQ

1. Got a question?

We’ve answered the questions we hear most often below. If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch and one of our team will be happy to help.

2. Is there car parking available?

Yes, all our locations will have car parking. The number of spaces will depend on the type and size of apartment you would like to live in.

3. How do you handle privacy?

We take your privacy seriously.

Any information you submit to Vesta is handled in accordance with our privacy policy which can be found at https://www.vestaliving.ie/privacy

The information you provide to us during the application process is not shared with any third parties and we will never sell your data to anyone.

We delete your data once your relationship with us ends. For more information on your rights, including under the GDPR, please see our privacy policy.

4. How long can I move in for?

That’s up to you! The standard lease is for 12 months but we’re here for the long term so if you’d like to stay long term, that would be just peachy!

5. What are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint?

All Vesta buildings are A-rated for energy, so they use the least amount of energy possible.
There are solar panels on the roof to help generate electricity and our new buildings do not use any fossil fuels for energy which further reduces our carbon footprint.
Individual apartments are heated using electric fan heaters and air-source heat pumps, which is extremely energy efficient.
Lastly, the electricity provider certifies that the energy supplied to our buildings is 100% renewable.

6. Do the apartments come furnished?

Yes! All apartments at Vesta are fully furnished with top quality furniture.
We’ve put a special emphasis on the beds, the mattresses are constructed using a combination of pocket springs and a memory foam layer so you should get a seriously good sleep.

7. Can I have some of the furniture removed?

You are free to remove any furniture items that you wish. However, these must be stored securely offsite at your own expense and returned to the apartment when you leave. All we ask is that you return the apartment to the condition you received it.

8. When is the rent due?

Rents are payable in advance, on the first day of the month. Deposit and first rent is due 2 weeks prior to the start date on your lease.

9. What about move in dates? When can I move in?

In general move in dates are 4 to 6 weeks into the future, however if you are looking for something earlier than that please contact our support line, from time to time early move ins are possible. 

10. How does the Smart Energy Meter work?

Its simple! You can monitor your usage through a small device in the apartment or on an App telling you how much power you are using in real time. The apartments are all designed to be super energy efficient and are all BER A rated, so your energy costs should be very affordable. You can set up your meter to auto-top up with a small amount of money so that you always know what your costs are and don't get any nasty surprises at month end.

11. Okay okay I want in, what do I do now?

That’s the best bit. You can sign up to live at Vesta in a few clicks, make an online application for our team to approve, and sign a lease within minutes.

12. Move in without viewing? That sounds risky!

No worries! We think you’ll love the apartment, but if you don’t, just tell us within the first 7 days of your lease and you can move out at the end of the first month without losing your deposit (assuming there is only wear and tear). Don’t forget, there are pictures and individual floor plans online to help you make your decision.

15. How many locations do you have?

At the present time, we have 3 locations, One Three North & Two Three North in Clongriffin, Dublin 13 and Hamilton Gardens in Cabra, Dublin 7. We have several other buildings in design at the moment, and hope to open others in the next 24 months.

16. What TV/internet is available?

The TV channels and Wi-Fi are provided by Virgin, and you’ll have your own private network within your apartment.
It's super-fast and has guaranteed up-time, so it should always be available.

17. What are the income requirements?

Generally, applicants need to demonstrate that they can pay the rent by using no more than 40% of their net income.

For an example, if the rent is €1,550 per month then we would expect that the net income of the applicant(s) is €3,875 per month. This can be spread across the household, so if there are two persons sharing who have a total monthly net income (after tax) of €1,937 each. This is to ensure that applicants are able to meet the rent while still having enough income to cover the rest of life's expenses.

Please note this is a rule of thumb. There are many factors taken into account when making decisions on applications and other sources of income can also be taken into consideration, such as Housing Assistance Payment (HAP), Savings, Corporate housing allowances etc.

Meeting the income requirements does not guarantee an application will be successful. All applications are background and reference checked also.

If you have a query on any of the criteria for a successful application please email us at support@vestaliving.ie

18. Do you allow pets?

We love pets! Small dogs and cats are very welcome but must obey the House Rules (explaining the rules to them is up to you though!).

There are some restrictions on where pets can go in the building and there is also an additional one-time cleaning fee that is payable at the end of your stay to ensure there are no remaining allergens.

Please also note that you will be responsible for any damage your pet does, so please bear that in mind.

Unfortunately for the moment, we are unable to accommodate some reptiles, snakes and arachnids.

You can read and sign the pet policy by following this link: https://vesta.signrequest.com/r/sign-template/ac991c0c906d4de04b3bf053adc8278de333d3607d66cbbc2d8deab9f430247e/?p=1
