Rental Search
The London rental market moves very quickly and a lot of the good properties go under offer before any property details are circulated on the internet. This makes it very easy to miss out on good properties if you're searching alone.
We work for tenants looking to rent a property, or those wanting to renegotiate their current tenancy agreement.
Regardless of your budget, our rental property search service is designed to save you time and money. We preview all properties in advance, and once the right property is found, we handle the negotiations for you and work to agree the most favourable tenancy terms.
There are many different ways to negotiate with rental properties, and we know how to take advantage of these and present you as the best available tenant.
Here's how it works:
1. No obligation meeting
Free of charge, we come and meet you at a time and place to suit you, whether it’s during the day, after work or on the weekend. We can advise you on current market conditions and the meeting gives us an opportunity to fully understand your requirements and what is important to you.
2. Comprehensive property brief
We work closely with you to compile a focused and realistic brief which takes into account your requirements and preferences relating to the style, condition, size and location of the property. We can advise on different areas and options available within your budget and we can also provide an orientation tour if required.
3. Property search
We thoroughly search the market by working with local estate agents and our extensive network of developers and private contacts. This means that as well as being informed about all properties currently available, we also know about properties which aren’t officially on the market. We then preview every property which closely matches your criteria.
4. Report to you
Having personally viewed each property and making a very close inspection, we know which are suitable and which are not. We shortlist those which suit your brief, and provide you with honest and objective feedback on each property.
5. Viewings with you
Viewings are organised to suit you and we can often arrange more flexible viewing times than you would normally be offered when searching as an individual. Your property search consultant accompanies you to all viewings and is there to provide impartial advice and discuss feedback afterwards. If required, any subsequent searches become more specialised until the ideal property is found.
6. Negotiation
When the right property is found, we discuss negotiation tactics with you, including your preferred move in date, contract length, and any special requirements or conditions to your offer. We then handle the negotiations on your behalf. Our negotiating power means that our service often more than pays for itself over the course of your tenancy, and our relationships with estate agents mean that we can give you a competitive advantage if there are other offers on the property, as estate agents know that we act for serious tenants and we bring speed and efficiency to the process.
7. Settling in
Before you move into your new rental property, we provide you with an individually tailored check list of the organisations which need to be notified about your move. Alternatively, we are more than happy to provide a ‘settling in service' and handle the administration for you at an additional cost.
