Renting Guide – For Tenants

Renting property is not as difficult as many people make out, in fact it can be very straightforward, especially when you have Doorknobs to help you along the way. To help you understand the process and make your move as easy as possible, here are the steps you need to take:

• Search For A Property using our Quick Search.
• Register Your Requirements

To find your ideal home, let us know as much as possible about your requirements. These should include your budget, the number of bedrooms you require, the date by which you need to move and of course the location. You can Register Your Requirements, by phoning us or by visiting Doorknobs where we’ll sit down with you and register your requirements for you.

When you have registered, details of properties that match your criteria can be sent to you by post or email. However, we usually phone you with details or send a text message to tell you that we have a property you may like.

Viewings are usually conducted between 10am - 6.30pm Monday to Friday and 10am - 3pm on Saturdays – although we can often arrange a viewing outside these hours if you find it difficult to get away from work during the day. You can arrange a viewing by giving us a phone call or by sending an email. You should also ensure that anyone who needs to share in the decision views the property at the same time. We usually carry out property viewings with you and the Landlord is rarely present.

Making an Offer

If the property is suitable - don't delay your offer - it may be let to someone else the same day. When you make an offer you’ll need to pay us an administration fee and referencing credit check fee.

You can use the search facility on this page to search for a property now or you can click here to Register Your Requirements. Or why not CONTACT US now and we’ll help you find a property.
