We’ve learned a lot over the years from tenants who wish they had sorted ‘X’ and ‘Y’ to save them the hassle later. In order to pass on the wisdom, we’ve condensed that advice into 15 useful tips which will ensure a smooth transition from home to home…
You've done the viewing and fallen in love with the property. You've weighed up all of the pros and cons, and after sleeping on it, finally decided to put in an offer. So, you mentally run through the phone call to the agents and how you think it'll go. And then, nervously, you make the call.
As a tenant, you're always acutely aware that the property you live in doesn't actually belong to you. You're told not to hang pictures. Not to redecorate.

The property purchasing process can be a rollercoaster, filled with ups and downs. Statistically, 30% of agreed property sales will fall through in the UK. No doubt you will have experienced this at some point or at least know someone else that has.
Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year – the temperature drops and the trees change colour, leaving you with a picture perfect view.
