Viewing a property is a crucial step in the rental process. It's your opportunity to assess whether the property meets your needs and expectations. Here are some key factors to consider during your viewing:

Check for signs of damp, cracks in the walls, and the condition of windows and doors. These can be indicators of the property's overall health, although any hazards would be addressed.

Ensure that all appliances are present that you need such as a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer etc.

Look for adequate storage options, such as built-in cupboards or a loft, especially if you have a lot of belongings.

Pay attention to the amount of natural light each room receives and whether there is effective ventilation.

Take a walk around the area to get a feel for the community, local shops, and transport links.

Check for working smoke alarms, secure locks, and ask about any security measures in place and highlight any concerns you may have.

If possible, discuss the lease terms during your viewing to understand your commitments better.

Remember, this is your chance to ask questions and clarify any doubts. Make the most of it to ensure you're making an informed decision.
