Whether you are an experienced Tenant or renting for the first time it is critical that the property you move into meets your requirements leaving you to enjoy a stress free Tenancy.
When deciding where to rent you should consider: -
- The type of property – Will the accommodation be suitable for your needs?
- Location – As with buying location is important when you are renting. Take some time to research the areas that you are looking at.
- Health and Safety – We have all heard the horror stories about carbon monoxide poisoning caused by faulty domestic gas appliances and, more recently, the tragic death of a baby resulting from the failure of a water-heating cylinder. Unfortunately, some Landlords can skimp when it comes to health and safety. It is crucial that you rent from a Landlord who understands what their obligations are in this area and who takes effective steps to make sure that the appropriate safety checks are carried out and equipment properly maintained.
- Repairs – If some unexpected drama occurs such as a burst pipe then will the Landlord or their Agents be in a position to respond quickly so as to sort matters out?
Whatever your requirements Rees Page are committed to helping you match properties to your needs. You can also take advantage of our extensive local knowledge about public transport, schools and local amenities - particularly useful if you are unfamiliar with the area. Information can be crucial in making sure that you make the right choice.
As both Solicitors and Letting Agents we have set the bar high to make sure that we only deal with properties that meet our exacting standards. The majority of our Landlords also instruct us to manage their properties for them throughout the Tenancy – giving you extra peace of mind when it comes to maintenance issues. Any contractors that we use to carry out maintenance are strictly vetted so that you can be sure that we won't be sending in the “cowboys”. And don’t forget if we are managing the property then our main aim is make sure that the Tenancy runs smoothly for both you and the Landlord.
Finally, you may have read about scandals concerning Tenancy Deposits. Tenants typically pay hundreds of pounds at the beginning of a Tenancy as a Security Deposit against any damage occurring. Some Landlords have got a bad reputation by treating this like extra rent. They have been reluctant to return the money at the end of the Tenancy and some may even have spent it! For your peace of mind Rees Page are members of the Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS) which is approved by the Government. This safe guards your deposit from unscrupulous Landlords. If you rent a property through Rees Page then any Security Deposit is lodged with the independent DPS and at the end of the Tenancy the right amount is returned to you with the Landlord’s agreement. If you cannot agree the amount with the Landlord then there is a free and independent dispute resolution scheme which is designed to resolve any issues without the need to go to court. Full details of the DPS Scheme are available upon request.
Remember that renting a property can be a nightmare if you end up with the wrong property/Landlord combination. If you are looking for a stress free experience then it pays to deal with property specialists such as Rees Page.
