Are you looking for your next home?
Renting a property
Find your next rental property with ease
Step 1
What are you looking for?
Decide on the size, location and type of property you would like to move into. Most importantly, work out how much rent you can afford, remembering to add on the monthly cost of utility bills and other outgoings.
Step 2
Register your details with us
Register with your local Prospect office and specify your requirements for a rental property. That way, our experienced agents will know what kind of properties to show you, bringing you one step closer to your ideal home!
Step 3
Find the right property for you
Most of our properties have video tours, so you can narrow down your selection from the comfort of your own home. Once you find some properties that you really like, book a viewing to see them in person!
Step 4
Make an offer
Great news - you’ve found a property that you love. Now to make an offer to the landlord. If it gets accepted, you’ll need to pay a holding deposit to ensure no one else views the property while you get your paperwork and referencing in order.
Step 5
Provide documentation
You’ll need to provide proof of ID, proof of address and a visa, where applicable. Once this paperwork is complete, you’ll also need to complete a direct debit mandate form. You will then sign the agreed offer letter.
Step 6
Submit references
Reference checks are conducted to ensure that you are a suitable tenant for the property and will be able to pay your rent. This can include references from your current landlord and employer, financial checks, credit checks and identification of who you are.
Step 7
Sign tenancy agreement
Congratulations! Your paperwork has been processed and references have been verified. Time to sign your tenancy agreement!
Step 8
Moving in monies
You will be requested to transfer the deposit prior to moving in, which usually equals up to five weeks' rent. In addition to the deposit, you may also need to pay the first month’s rent up front.
Step 9
Collect keys
Finally, you’ll receive confirmation of details for moving in and important documentation regarding your new home. Your new landlord or agent will hand over the keys, and before you know it, it will be time to unpack those boxes!
