Moving between properties can often be stressful, and this stress is
often compounded when you have to deal with landlords, both your new
landlord and the landlord in the property that you are leaving. Here,
we’ve assembled a few tips to make moving between rental properties as
easy as possible. Of course the best tip of all is to hire us as your
Manchester removals company. That means we can handle moving all your
possessions, leaving you free to take care of everything else.
Check the contract
Before you leave your rental property you should check your contract and
find out what is expected of you. Some rental property contracts will
stipulate that you must do certain things before you leave, such as fill
in the walls where pictures are hanging, deep clean the carpets or even
paint the walls. You don’t want to find out about this at the last
minute, so as soon as you know you are moving, have a look at your
contract.
Use a professional letting agent for your new home
Arranging your new home through a letting agent rather than directly
with a landlord can cost you a little bit of money in fees, but this is
usually money well spent. It entitles you to legal protections that you
won’t get when dealing directly with a landlord. However you should make
sure that you are dealing with a reputable agent. Find out if they are
registered with a professional association like the ARLA or the Property
Ombudsman. This ensures you are fully protected, and guarantees that
the agent you are dealing with is reputable.
Plan ahead
Moving house is stressful at the best of times, so the last thing you
want to do is rush it. Make sure to arrange your new property as soon as
possible. You should ideally have your new property secured a month or
so before you plan to move. This ensures that all of the necessary
arrangements and paperwork will be in place before your moving date.
You’ll also need plenty of time to pack, etc. While renting
accommodation rather than buying it means you have a lot more
flexibility, it doesn’t mean you should be completely lackadaisical when
it comes to planning.
Get a camera
When moving between rental properties, one of the most important pieces
of equipment you can have is a camera. This is so that you can take
photographs of your old property as you leave it, and take photographs
of the new one before you move in. This ensures you won’t be charged for
any damage that you didn’t do, either in your old property or your new
one. When you move in to your new place, take as many photos as
possible, focusing on any damaged or worn areas. Make sure to file these
photos away in a safe place, you might need them as proof when it comes
to claiming your deposit back when you move out.
