Tips for tenants

When searching for a property make sure you know what you are looking for before asking to conduct viewings. Don't arrange 5-6 viewings on the same day, you just wont rememebr each property individually and might lose the one you liked. When you phone the agents about a property ask questions about the property - does it have a freezer? What size is the bedroom? Which floor is the flat on?
If you know you don't really want a ground floor flat then don't go and see one! Whilst visiting ones that in your heart you know you aren't going to want you are most likely giving time for other tenants to see the one you do want. A good agent almost wont let you view the property and will talk to you about move in dates, affordability, referencing criteria , move in costs and the type of property you really want before letting you view a property - they are doing you, any current occupier and themselves a big favour - this is real customer service. So today's top tip is, if you aren't able to compromise on something don't waste your time viewing it, get yourself a viewing at a property you may want by asking the agent as much as possible about the property before trying to arrange a viewing. Happy hunting!
