Expert Letting Advice for Tenants
How do I rent a property with you?
1. The first step is to contact midcornwall who will register your details and discuss your search requirements
- Think about your desired property type and location. If you are unsure on location, discuss it with us and we can suggest locations to help you
refine your search.
- Consider your "must have" criteria - what won't you compromise on?
- Budget - how much would you be prepared to pay for the right property?
- Length of tenancy We recommend beginning your search around 4 -5 weeks prior to your ideal move date
2. View a selection of properties
- Our lettings team will show you the best properties available in line with your requirements
- The lettings' property market is moving very quickly. If you find the perfect property, you may wish to place an offer on the same day, as they
often go quickly! Be prepared, it may be the first one you see!
3. You've found the one!
-
If you are interested in renting the property you have viewed, please contact us as soon as possible. We may need to gain authorisation and
approval from the owner before going any further in the process.
- If accepted by the landlord 'subject to contract' a non refundable administration fee is then required.
4. Offer accepted 'subject to contract'
- Upon acceptance of your offer and after referencing is complete, you will be sent the Tenancy Agreement and other necessary documentation which
should be read through thoroughly. Our lettings team will be pleased to help should you have any questions
- You will also be issued with a statement of account for your initial payment
This will include:
a) Rent for the first month
b) Deposit
c) Charge for the inventory
d) Any referencing agency charges (possibly already paid previously)
e) Any additional pet charges
- Future payments for monthly rent are taken by standing order in advance so please have your bank account details available to complete the form.
Please note the signature must be an original as faxed copies are not accepted by the banks.
5. Moving in
- Provided that all payments, documents and references are in order, your keys will be available for collection on the start date of the tenancy,
usually from the office. Our lettings team will ensure that this is organised at a convenient time to you.
- A copy of the inventory check-in report will be provided and you will have seven days to make any amendments. Should you have any comments or
questions, they should be raised as soon as possible after receipt.
6. What if I need help during my tenancy?
- If your property is managed by midcornwall you will be advised of the name and contact details for the member of the lettings team who deals
with repairs and any other issues. Please feel free to contact them at any time to discuss any questions or problems you may have.
- If your property is managed by the landlord, you should contact them directly for any maintenance issues.
