👀 Viewings

Inspect Freely

No worries, you're allowed to open every box and closet to get a complete sense of the space — provided, of course, that the property is not currently occupied.

Questions to ask

1. How to Submit an Offer?

Each agent or landlord has their preferred method of submitting an offer. Some may request documents via email, others might require you to apply through their website, and some might have a specific form for you to fill out. Clarifying this is absolutely necessary to ensure you don't disqualify yourself by applying incorrectly.

2. How Can I Stand Out From Competition?

This question is particularly relevant when dealing directly with landlords during viewings. Ask about what they value in a tenant. Some landlords prioritise educational background, others might be happy from a higher rent offer or upfront payments. Knowing this can help you make the perfect offer.
