Tips For Renting A House
It is very important to consider your requirements before you begin to search for your property. Be very clear about the area that you want to live in, the type you are searching for, which amenities you want to have near and what budget you have available.
Your requirements:
- Room, studio, house, flat
- Location
- Tenancy period length
- Unfurnished or furnished
- Number of reception rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms
- Garden
- Off-street parking
Set a budget
Get a manageable budget set up and then stick with it. Rental properties are marketed by letting agents either by stating the monthly rental price or weekly rental price. Try to not be tempted (or allow your agent to tempt you) into searching for properties that are beyond what you can afford comfortably.
Along with your rental costs, other related expenses need to be budgeted for. Those may include:
- House contents insurance: this is something that you need
