IDENTIFYING LOCATION AND REQUIREMENTS
Having a clear idea of your requirements will benefit both you and your letting agent, making your search as easy and quick as possible. Rental properties can vary in terms of age, design, fixtures and fittings, and amenities.

SEARCHING FOR A PROPERTY AND ARRANGE VIEWINGS
Once you’ve determined the key requirements you’re looking for in a home and location, it’s time to start your search. When you’ve found some places that you like, you’ll need to go and see them.
4
SECURING A PROPERTY TO RENT
If you like a place you’ve seen, the next stage involves securing a let agreement. Start by placing a holding deposit to indicate your intention to rent the property and have it taken off the market.
5
SIGNING A TENANCY AGREEMENT
The tenancy agreement is a legally binding contract between you and the landlord, specifying certain rights for both parties.
6
MAKING PAYMENTS
Once all the checks and contracts are signed, you’ll need to make the initial payments before moving in. This includes paying the first month’s rent (minus the holding deposit) and the security deposit (up to five weeks’ rent).
7
PREPARING FOR THE MOVE
Now it’s time to prepare for the big day. You’ll need to consider arrangements like booking moving vans and the logistics of moving your furniture. If you’re moving into an unfurnished property, on the move-in day, you can expect a professional check-in, typically conducted by the landlord or letting agent.

COMPLETION
You’ve now picked up the keys and moved in, officially completing the steps for renting a flat. It’s time to relax and enjoy your new home!
