Imagine waking up to this view every morning. That’s just what two of our lovely clients will be able to do for the foreseeable future. They tasked us with finding them a beautiful home to rent for the long term, in the middle of the North Yorkshire countryside. The brief was a property in a remote location (possibly on a private country estate), with good broadband, room for two home offices and space for their 2 dogs and 8 chickens.
We found them a wonderful, newly renovated farmhouse (on a private estate), with stunning views and plenty of space for the animals to run around. Using our network of local letting agent contacts, we also ensured they were the first people to view the property and guaranteed that they had first refusal if they wanted to take it. Needless to say, the decision was easy and they pretty much decided to take the house there and then.
Most people know that the sales market has been highly competitive for some time, and that using a professional search agent to ensure you don’t miss out on new properties coming to market is almost a ‘must’ for busy home seekers, but the reality is that the rental market is just as busy. More and more, the best rental homes are either snapped up before they even hit the market, or viewings are done in blocks and any offers are put forward to the landlord together. The phrase ‘luck of the draw’ has never seemed so apt.
If you’re looking to rent a property, to put yourself in the best position you need to be ready to act, first to view and quick to make a decision; not always easy with work and family commitments or when you are not based in the area you’re hoping to move to.
So, whether you’re looking to buy or rent, never has it been more imperative to put yourself ahead of the rest and ultimately using a professional search agent, with local expertise and contacts will ensure you do just that.
