Renting made easy

Your guide to renting

In order to rent a property, you need to understand the correct process. We're here to help guide you through every step.

Decent Budgeting

When you first set up your tenancy, it is going to be an expensive time for you. Here's what to expect:

  • A tenancy set up fee for credit checks and references
  • A month's rent in advance
  • Your deposit (at least one month's rent)
  • Additional person fees if applicable
  • Ongoing monthly rent, council tax, and utilities

Looking for Properties

When you're looking for a house to rent, think about your requirements. Landlords will likely have their own policies regarding smoking, children, pets and housing benefits.

It is worth speaking to the letting agent to see if the landlord is willing to be flexible regarding any of the policies.
