ORGANISE THE VIEWING

Compare rental properties using facts and personal priorities.

A fair comparison uses the same criteria for every property and separates measurable facts from subjective impressions.

WHAT MATTERS

Prepare, attend and evaluate the appointment clearly

A viewing is more than a quick walk-through. Questions, priorities, photo or video permissions and the required scope should be agreed before the appointment. This makes impressions easier to compare and open points easier to follow up.

Details quickly become blurred after several viewings. A standardised assessment helps compare rent, service charges, location, condition, space and everyday suitability clearly.

compare rental properties: key questions answered

Which criteria are suitable for a property comparison?

Costs, location, condition, space, features, surroundings, timing and personal mandatory criteria.
