Renting a property can be extremely frustrating! The market is incredibly fast moving and often the agents do not even have time to photograph the property before it has been let. Fortunately, The Relocation Company is in the market all the time. We are viewing properties every day, all day, and we are able to show you properties well before they are advertised. There are many angles for negotiations on rental properties - from price, to timing, to tenancy agreement clauses and special conditions, all of which will contribute to whether you get the property over another perspective renter.

The Relocation Company will conduct an extensive search for suitable properties in the area(s) you are interested in. Our networks and constant presence in the market ensures we are aware of every property available to rent and often hear about properties before they are advertised.
Having identified properties which meet your criteria, we will schedule appointments and accompany you to viewings. Throughout this process we will be on hand to answer your questions, negotiate the lease and advise on your options.

We all realise that Estate Agents mainly represent the landlords’ interests. However to counter this, The Relocation Company are here to represent your interests! Pitfalls such as not being able to break a lease, agreements that do not allow for fair wear and tear or landlord wishing to hold deposits, are easily avoided with the right advice and representation. We will ensure all tenancy agreements are “tenant friendly” and agreeable to all parties. Additionally, The Relocation Company is likely to be able to reduce agency fees (and sometimes are even able to remove fees). Speak to us for more detail.

Moving in to your new property is an exciting time and it is easy to forget how important it is to ensure that correct procedures are followed to reduce the difficulties at the end of the tenancy. The Relocation Company will represent you and appoint your own professional inventory clerk to help avoid problems at the end of the term. We are also there to ensure you understand how the property installations work and how to arrange for all utilities to be transferred into your name.

Over the years, we have seen that the biggest area of concern to many of our clients is that of deposits. In the UK, there is an in-built misunderstanding that the deposit is somehow the property of the landlord. This wrongful assumption makes the return of the deposit at the end of the tenancy something of a battle.
The Relocation Company is extremely experienced in the art of negotiation. All our staff have been trained through the ARLA. The key is to address this issue at the beginning of the tenancy by ensuring the wording of the legal agreement is fair and not landlord biased. The check-out will be attended by one of our professional inventory clerks who can take a record of any discrepancy from the landlords’ version of the contract. If there are any disagreements with the deposit, The Relocation Company will correspond with all parties until an agreement is reached.
