If it is essential that you have a garden then don’t be drawn in by descriptions and photographs of lovely interior decoration and wooden laminate flooring only to turn up and find that the property is a third floor flat with a communal garden which nobody uses nor does the lease holder or management company bother to take good care of.
Similarly if you really need to have space for a lagos corner sofa or other similar large item of furniture check the room sizes and the width of the doors before you visit, you may find yourself having to use the window to get the furnishings in! Sliding doors and balconies are great to have when large furnishings have to go in the house and wide angle camera lens can be deceiving!
It is frustrating to think that you may have found an ideal home and then discover that you have travelled to visit a place that does not tick all of the right boxes on your essentials list.

Another often forgotten essential requirement can be the length of the rental agreement or contract. Some landlords will only let for a six month period others may declare short term or long term depending on the site you are searching from.
Other landlords or estate agents will be looking for a long term tenant. Make sure that you know what type of tenancy is on offer before arranging viewings and ensure you know the finer details of the contract to see if it will be suitable and that it suits your every needs.
