Are you looking to rent a property and want to be in the best position?

We have let lots of properties recently where we received multiple offers from tenants. Make sure you stand out as the best tenant for a property by following our top tips.

It is crucial to get yourself in the best possible position and have everything ready for when you want to secure a property and know there won’t be any nasty surprises.

  • Get an Experian report carried out, so you know there aren’t any missed payments in your credit history.

  • Have 6 months’ worth of payslips and bank statements at the ready.

  • If you are employed find out who will deal with employers’ references and the best way to contact them.

  • If you are self-employed, let your accountant know as they may need to supply paperwork and quickly.

Have all the above ready and make the letting agent aware so they can let the landlord know. For more tips and to find out when new properties are coming to the market, contact Leah Newbould.
