Tips for applicants looking for rental property

Advice for those currently searching for a rental property to live in. Get prepared and be responsive!

Rental agreement

Plan your finances! 

Make sure you are financially prepared for the rental payments. Before you move in you’ll need to pay a security deposit. If you’re unsure what rental value you can afford based on your total household income, please get in touch for guidance.

How long do you want the tenancy for?

A tenancy is usually a minimum of 6 months. A long term let is usually considered 18 months or longer. If you’re looking for a shorter let, other options are available. 

Have your ID prepared!

Ensure you have suitable ID so that we can carry out the legal right to rent check for renting property in the UK. If you don’t have a passport or driving license, speak to the agent about your options for alternative documents to use. 

Start preparing information for the referencing process.

We will need to confirm your identity, immigration status, credit history and possibly employment status. The more prepared you are with this information, the smoother the referencing process is for all involved.

Be responsive!

The property market is very demanding right now, we’re receiving more applications for properties than ever before. Due to this high level of demand, things can move quickly. Being responsive when enquiring about properties will put you in a great position with the property application process.
