Consider important questions such as - Does the locality fulfil all your needs? Is it offering good schools that your children can go to? Does it give quick access to healthcare?

Additional Things To Keep In Mind

Carefully scan the flat and conduct a pest check to avoid problems later. If you do shortlist a home, take videos of appliances before moving in to verify their working state.

Account for hidden costs such as charges for maintenance, electricity, parking, and other amenities. These expenses should be discussed with the landlord in detail and then clearly defined in the rental agreement as to who pays for them.
Further research the average rent value of the property well before you enter any negotiation talks with the landlord. Our professional experts have ground reality of this and can help negotiate on your behalf.
Convey your plans to stay in the house for a long time. The landlord may then consider you as a stable and reliable investment and may lower their asking price.
