Below is a short and straightforward timeline laying out what happens when you are looking for a new place to call home.

Step 1 – You see a property we are letting that you are interested in.

Step 2 – Check out the virtual tour to get a feel for the property.

Step 3 – If you like what you see and want to move on to the next step, we will pre-qualify you by asking the questions below.

  • What property are you interested in?
  • Who are going to be the tenants?
  • When do you want to move in?
  • What length of time are you looking to rent for?
  • Will you be looking to keep pets there?
  • How do your credit history and references look?

We will then contact the landlord and see if this is all agreeable to them before going to the next step.

Step 4 – An in-person viewing. Get a real-time feel for the place, and its space and potential.

Step 5 – If you want the property, it’s time to act, and quickly. Let us know immediately as properties in our area are in demand. We’ve already pre-qualified you, so we will let the landlord know. If they agree to rent it to you, it’s onto the next step.

Step 6 – You pay a holding deposit, and the referencing checks begin. At this point we stop viewings, although not all letting agents do.

Step 7 – As long as everything comes back ok, we can get you a moving-in date and complete the paperwork.

Step 8 – Moving-in day – We’ll meet you at the property to hand over keys and talk you through anything you need to know.

Step 9 – Enjoy your new home.
