The busiest time in London’s rental market is in July and August. During the summer, there’s a wider choice of rental properties available as many people are moving. A quieter time is before Christmas, during Christmas, and New Year. Therefore, November could be a perfect time to look for a flat in London.
We typically recommend starting your property search two months before your desired move-in date. This is when most properties will be listed for the intended move-in month.
We aim to respond to your inquiries on the same day. We also offer viewings on the weekends. However, we suggest scheduling viewings during the week for greater agent availability and flexibility.
To calculate the monthly rent, multiply the weekly cost by 52 and then divide by 12.
You can speak to agency to find out what information they will need in advance. You might also want to consider bringing the necessary paperwork with you on the day of the viewing. Additionally, you can secure a place by paying a holding deposit, which typically consists of one week’s rent.
Some apartments include all bills, but this is rare. Most of the time, bills are an additional cost on top of the monthly rent. It’s important to check the council tax band of the apartment, as this tax can vary significantly in different areas. Also, make sure to ask for the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to get an idea of the expected energy bill costs.
Your solicitor should advise you on all the necessary applications regarding the property and help begin the process by acquiring the documents needed for the sale. We can recommend several experienced solicitors with local know-how for you.
The sooner you instruct your solicitor, the sooner you can start the sales process and make sure you have all the required paperwork and information to engage with potential buyers.
Once you have accepted an offer from one of the potential buyers, your solicitor will set up a contract and send it to the buyer for approval. The contract will include all the agreements created between both parties and, more often than not, most of the information in the management pack. Then, the contract will often go back and forth between solicitors and the buyers until both parties are satisfied with the final version of the contract. This would be a good time for you to finalise any pending payments and for the buyer to get their funds ready. We will ensure the transfer of the funds takes place promptly. After exchanging contracts, both parties will have agreed to be legally bound by the sale and will proceed to complete the sale.
During the time between the exchange of contracts and the completion of the sale, you should start arranging for all your belongings to be moved out of the property. We can provide you with a list of useful contacts to help with the move.
Mortgage lender: The lender may suggest you switch to a buy-to-let mortgage, which may come with different rates.
The lender may also advise you on whether you should be looking for a short-term or long-term tenancy basis but will most likely recommend an AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy), which is the most common type of agreement used by landlords to let residential properties to private tenants.
Freeholder: This is to ensure your legal entitlement. Most people do not realise that subletting properties may not be permitted when a lease is brought from a freeholder. It is essential to review your documents thoroughly, and if you have any doubts, our Lettings Team is here to help.
Simply provide us with a copy of your lease, and we can help establish your eligibility to sublet the property.
Estate agent: Having the support of experienced estate agents is crucial. While finding tenants is often straightforward, it is not easy to find good tenants. Besides, a good estate agent can provide you with valuable knowledge of the current market conditions and how your property is positioned. They can generate interest for your property and help you find the perfect tenant through a targeted approach.
