Renting

If you are considering renting a property, you will probably be looking for something that feels as though it could be your dream home. Although you aren’t buying the property, you should still take as much time and care to find your perfect home. There are a few things you can do to make it much more likely that you will find the ideal property:

Searching online will probably be the first place you look for a property, and this is where you will find a selection of tools to make it much easier. The search tool on websites can be used to narrow down your search and reveal those with the necessary features, like a garden or the number of bedrooms.

Signing up with a number of lettings agents is also a sensible move. Get to know a number of agents, and you may find that you are at the front of the queue when a new property appears on the list.

Once you find a suitable property, don’t dilly-dally, as it will soon be snapped up by others looking for a rental property. Unlike when you buy a home, the advantage of renting is that you don’t have to stay there for years if you find that you have made a mistake.

If you decide that buying a property may be the solution to finding a home that ticks all the boxes, speak to a mortgage advisor who has spent considerable time on CeMAP training courses.
