At Appleton Estate Agents Maidenhead, we gathered some top tips on securing a house to rent in Maidenhead in today’s highly competitive lettings conditions for you tenants:
- Work out your budget
Renting a property has additional costs associated beyond the monthly rent! You need to work out the council tax, average utility bills, commuting costs, etc.Before booking viewings, set in place key ‘deal-breakers’ as well as areas for compromise. Knowing what things you’re willing to be flexible on can aid the decision-making process and help your agent select properties to suit your specific needs. This will determine the range of properties you can afford. - Prioritise your needs
Do you have constrainst that you cannot change? For example, do you need to be near a particular location? Do you need to be near the Motorays, within walking distance of the station etc? Then work down to wanting an extra bedrooms, etc. Again, this will focus your search. - Be ready to make a quick decision
