We aim to make the whole process of finding, choosing, applying for and renting a property as simple and as transparent as possible. We want to make communication with us as straightforward as possible, all with the goal of enabling you to enjoy your rental experience with us.
Guide to Renting Your Property
We've summarised below a step-by-step guide to help you understand the rental process.
-
Be Clear About Your Requirements
Think about what's most important to you, including the number of bedrooms, preferred location, transport links, local schools, broadband speeds, and whether you would benefit from a dedicated workspace, garden, or access to green spaces.
-
Set Your Budget
We'll talk you through our referencing process and explain the income requirements for renting a particular property. Rent is typically paid monthly in advance, along with a security deposit equivalent to five weeks' rent.
-
Search for Properties
We have online video tours for all our properties, allowing you to view a property remotely. If you're interested after watching the video tour, you can arrange to view the property in person to ensure it meets your needs. After viewing, if you would like to proceed, you can submit an application.
-
Complete Your Application
We use an intuitive online referencing and tenancy creation platform that makes the application process straightforward. You can easily submit your offer, complete referencing, pay your deposit and rent, and sign tenancy agreements online.
-
Referencing and Approval
Once your application and referencing process are complete, and the landlord has approved your application, we'll agree on a suitable move-in date.
-
Move Into Your New Home
Simply collect your keys from our office and move into your new home. You'll be able to review the inventory online, add any necessary comments, and return it to us within seven days.
-
Deposit Protection
Your deposit will be securely protected by a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme within 30 days of receiving it, providing peace of mind throughout your tenancy.
Please note the following, if your tenancy is managed by Quealy & Co:
-
Report Maintenance Issues
We use Fixflo, an easy-to-use online reporting system that allows you to report and track maintenance or repair issues. Our friendly and experienced property management team is always on hand to assist when needed.
-
Property Inspections
To help maintain the property and identify any issues early, we carry out three interim inspections each year. These visits allow us to address maintenance concerns before they become larger problems.
-
Ongoing Support Throughout Your Tenancy
Our team is committed to providing support throughout your tenancy. We hope you enjoy renting with us and look forward to building a long-term relationship as a valued Quealy & Co client.
