Our Professional Guide to Letting a Property Successfully

When you look into letting a property or renting a home, the process should be simple. Our team breaks down the essential steps every tenant must follow. We help you secure your ideal residential property smoothly and confidently.

1. Finding Your Perfect Rental Property

First, you must choose the right home. Register your search requirements with our team today. When we find a match, we will call you immediately. We will discuss the structural details and arrange viewing times. You can also monitor real-time listings via our property portal and social channels.

2. Securing the Home with a Holding Deposit

Once you find the perfect house, you need to secure it fast. You will pay a holding deposit to lock in the home. After payment, our team allows three working days. You will use this time to gather all required tenancy documents.

3. Compulsory Credit Checks and Referencing

We require a comprehensive credit check from all prospective tenants. You must provide completely accurate background information. Once the referencing checks return a successful result, we will proceed. Our team will prepare the official assured shorthold tenancy agreement.

4. Signing Your Tenancy Agreement Safely

You must provide photographic ID and proof of address at signing. Tenants must pay a full month of rent upfront. You also need to clear the security deposit and any applicable fees. We recommend bringing your guarantor or witnesses to the signing session. After signing, you receive the official government checklist for renting in England, deposit protection certificates, and your keys.

5. Moving Into Your New House Smoothly

Before moving in, you must arrange an inventory inspection with one of our agents. This check ensures everything remains in ideal working condition. It also offers a great opportunity to ask our team any remaining questions.

6. Dedicated Support Services During Your Tenancy

If you experience any issues during your tenancy, contact Aura Estates. We resolve complaints and answer questions quickly. Our in-house maintenance specialists handle all urgent property repairs promptly.

7. Actions and Notice at the End of Your Lease

If you want to stay, inform our agency early. The lease automatically transitions, but you must sign a new agreement with updated terms. If you decide to leave, you must provide a written two-month notice in advance. Our team will perform a final inventory check. This inspection ensures the house stays in suitable condition for the next occupant. The final condition determines your returned deposit balance.
