ROOM RESERVATION

Room seekers can reserve their rooms to rent with Home Relief to plan ahead. 

There are various reasons which may motivate you to do so.  You alone know about your personal conditions and circumstances.  However, we may think of the following motives: change of jobs, start of a new academic year, relocation, health, transport or travel convenience etc.  It could be you just want to change your current accommodation to a new one or another one.

Regardless of these reasons, starting to look for accommodation earlier makes things easier.  In particular, if you are planning to move out after summer holidays and start the Autumn term in a new room or shared property.  You can search now so that by September and October you know where you will reside. 

You can even make your plan goes further by reserving room.  You can reserve it without paying any thing.  However, if you commit yourself by paying a reservation fee this could indicate you are taking your rental application seriously.  You are committed to go ahead with your application to rent. 

What is a reservation fee?

A reservation fee is a holding deposit put down to get exclusive rights to rent a property (here room) under certain conditions and at an agreed price.  Among these rights, there are: Home Relief working for you to find a room for you, a good range of properties to view, viewings accompanied, more time and freedom to choose a room etc. Reservation fee implies that once you accept the property, this will be taken off the market.

How much is the reservation fee?

You can reserve your room to rent from £5 only at Home Relief and pay the rest once we agree together the terms of tenancy and your offer has been accepted.

What types of property (here room) can I reserve?

You can reserve any types and sizes of rooms: single, medium-sized, double, large and extra-large rooms.

Want to reserve a room? Contact Home Relief NOW!

How to Get a Fairly Good Rent for your Property?

This week we are working with landlords/ladies and home owners to determine ways of setting up decent rent levels regardless of seasons.

Before issuing a tenancy (for example an assured short hold tenancy agreement), it is advisable to seek expert advice about the levels of rent that your property can generate.  It is important to seek this kind of advice so that you do not charge more or less than what your property really deserves.  This helps to avoid any potential conflicts with tenants over level of rent (such as unpaid rents or rent arrears) in the course of the tenancy period.  

Rent advice can be obtained from various sources or experts on the rental market.  It can be given by a local rent officer, a letting agency, a rent valuation office etc.  You can even get it online through some websites having properties rent valuation features.  Some of these rent services are free of charge without obligations.

However, what we are undertaking this week at Home Relief is not only fixing a rent for a particular property.  We are trying to develop a rent policy for our clients so that their properties could command a rent level that is fairly good or decent irrespective of seasons (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, busy, not busy etc.).  Why?

This is because there could be changes in the rental market and the economy with ups and downs.  Likewise, your property may not be the same when you last refurbished it.  In those circumstances, what to do for your property to command decent rents regardless of seasons, regardless of lows and highs in the rental sector?  Bearing in mind that each property is a particular case that needs to be treated on its own.  There should not be one size fits all policy.

If you are a landlord/lady and or home owner and would like your property generates a level of rental income that is respectable or decent but you do not know where to start and how to go about it, Home Relief can work with you to determine the decent rental value for your property.       

Contact Home Relief NOW to get advice for the decent rent level for your property to let.

Learn how to weather the bad times to rent a property and save in good rent-a-property times

Home seekers can rent a property at any times of the year (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter).

There is no a particular season to rent as such, although there are times when the rental market may be favourable or unfavourable to  particular home seekers.  

However, there are times when the rental market conditions may seem not going to your direction for various reasons, conditions which may include: budget constraints, your need to give notice where you are, academic or employment reasons, health conditions, family motives etc. 

For all these various reasons, home seekers may choose to delay or anticipate the rental decision to take up tenancies of a property, in relation to their personal circumstances and conditions of life.

This week we are working with home seekers to find out ways of weathering bad times to rent a property and saving in good rental times.

This week’s work with home seekers is a customised one.  This is because each home seeker has particular circumstances and conditions of life. 

The customised support includes the following: identification of individual bad times to rent and good times to rent, development of survival rental strategies, and decision making process regarding the choice of the right time to rent etc.

If you are a prospective tenant or home seeker and you are not sure about the best time for you to rent, Home Relief can work with you to consider the economic factors and rental parameters applicable to you as well as support you make an informed decision about the appropriate time for you to rent.

To involve Home Relief in your decision making process about rental times, contact Home Relief Now!

Spring is another favourable season of the year for home seekers to hunt for properties to let.

There are various reasons to look for properties to let at this time of the year; reasons which include the following.

End of Winter move

The end of Winter can mean that those tenants, who were waiting for the change of season to make a smart move, may be willing to move out in Spring, and in doing so freeing places for the new comers.

Low competition to rent

When the competition to rent a property is relatively low, this could mean that there are competitively priced properties to rent.  It also signifies that the supply outweighs the demand of properties to let; suggesting that the asking market rent is within the average renters’ budget.

Landlords/ladies’ will to let

It does not matter whether or not there is a big or small stock of properties to let.  What is a decisive factor is landlords/ladies’ willingness to let.  Their will can command the rental transactions and the exchange of contracts.

Good deals on the market

When economic operators (e.g. landlords/ladies) are keen to do business, there is always a chance to get good or fruity deals as far as renting is concerned.

Home Relief as your Spring Rental Season Rental Negotiators

Home Relief can negotiate with home seekers and landlords/ladies to achieve the optimal rents and tenancy terms that are suitable for all the parties to be engaged in the rental agreement.

End of tenancy agreement

Those renters having the end of their tenancy agreement and or notice to leave coincides with the beginning of Spring can seize the rental opportunities of Spring to vacate.

The above are just a selection of few factors making the main reason for prospective home seekers to hunt for properties to rent this Spring.  They indicate that home seekers can have good and attractive rental deals in this new season.   

If you are a home seeker and or a tenant planning to move out but you are struggling to get the best rental deal within your budget means, please do not hesitate to contact Home Relief NOW!
