Rending process is as follow:
It is essential to understand your budget per week or per month before conducting searches as it gives better idea of the size, location, type of property is available within specific price range and also makes the search process more efficient.
Whether you are looking to move into your first flat or house, or you are relocating from an existing property, you will need to identify the area you want to move to and what your specific requirements are. The more you know about what you want from both the property itself and the area, the easier your search will be.
The more you know about what you want, the easier your search will be. Checking out the surroundings can give you a real time feel for the neighbourhood, as well as actual distances to transport links and other local amenities. Once you know what it is you are looking for, you can register your details with a letting agent, either by contacting your local branch, or you may choose to conduct your search via letting agent websites.
The rental market moves at a fast pace and quality properties are often secured very quickly. If you are moving in with others, ensure you are all in a position to make a decision promptly after viewing the property. So, once you have found a property you want to move into, this is the ‘let agreed’ stage of the process, but remains subject to contract. This is when you will go through reference checks and pay a holding deposit, reference, tenancy agreement and inventory check charges.
Tenancy Agreement. Make sure you have a written tenancy agreement and read it carefully to understand your rights and responsibilities. The landlord or agent usually provides one but you can request to use a different version.
Inventory. Agree an inventory (or check-in report) with your agent before you move in and, as an extra safeguard, make sure that youtake photos. This will make things easier if there is a dispute about the deposit at the end of the tenancy. If you are happy with the inventory, sign it and keep a copy.
Upon signing the tenancy agreement, you have to arrange all the move in funds 48 hours prior to move in date, come to the office with original passport and visa (if required) to conduct the right to rent check and collect the keys with signed Tenancy Agreement, Inventory Report, Deposit Certificate.
