Info you
Properties are often leased very quickly... in some cases the day they become available. You may even find they go before you get time to put an application in. Why? Because in order to turn properties around rapidly and to inform people looking at the property, the process is expedited. Despite our very best efforts to prevent disappointment and frustration (which we often share), it may be unavoidable.
But sometimes your application is held up... while we process applications as quickly as possible, there can be delays. This might be due to the number of applications received or because we are required to wait for final approval from the owners. We do genuinely understand the anxiety and frustration of house-hunting, so we try our best to help where we can.
The best thing you can do in any case... if you find a property you really want, is to get your application in immediately and make sure you include as much information as possible. This will maximise your chance of getting the property. You can also use the same application for another property if need be.
Your preferred appointment times are not always available... while we will always try, it is unlikely that we will be able to make appointments for inspections for the same day you contact us. This applies particularly to Saturdays, where we are often booked days in advance. Of course you are welcome to attend any properties Open For Inspection.
If you’re not from this area... sometimes it is better to spend a little time checking websites and newspapers first; find out when inspections are being conducted so that you can plan your day and make more effective use of your time. And get an early start on the day!
For more information, the Department of Fair Trading has produced a New Tenant Checklist, which may provide some helpful information in how to approach your new tenancy.
