Whether you are planning to move into your first apartment or home, or you are relocating from an existing property, you should first select the location you want to live in and your individual needs. Having established budget already, this will narrow down the locations available to you. Our agents can assist in finding what you want from your potential property and neighbourhood.
The type of let you choose will depend on several circumstances. Whether you are seeking a short stay or something more long-term, Bellings and our expert agents can help determine what is right for you.Short lets - tenancies lasting less than 6 months, can be a cost-effective option over staying in a hotel or serviced apartment. Short-term rental properties are typically furnished and ready to move into, with utility costs included in the rental. This is ideal if you are on a short-term contract, awaiting a property sale completion or visiting relatives for an extended period.
Long lets are tenancies lasting over 6 months. These are suitable for people needing to be based in a particular location for six months or longer, or those requiring long-term roots. This is ideal for permanent employees, to reduce moving frequency or for families to be close to education facilities.
Corporate lets refer to a tenancy in which the tenant is a business or organisation, and the space is rented for the purpose of housing employees short or medium-term.
A managed property will offer a range of services designed to make your rental experience easier and more efficient. As a tenant this means you will be appointed an agent as first point of contact to handle any issues, including maintenance requests.
The more you know about what you desire, the easier it will be to find. Assessing the surroundings can provide a sense of the neighbourhood, as well as distances to public transportation and other local amenities.
Arrange viewings with your letting agent. When you get to the viewing stage, make sure your finances and credit, employment or prior landlord references are in order, to avoid missing out once you wish to make an offer.
The letting agent will accompany you to viewings and will be there to offer advice and answer any queries. If you are moving in with others, going to the first viewings together will expedite the process.
The rental market moves quickly and premium properties are often secured quickly. If you are moving in with others, make sure you are all in a position to decide as soon as you see the place. Once you have made your selection make an offer. Whether you offer the advertised price (or a price above or below) the agent will contact the owner for approval, subject to reference checks and signing the Contract. Once agreed you will pay a Holding Deposit and this moves to the Let Agreed stage.
