Firstly, before you start your search, we would always recommend you have your budget in place do not only consider the rental amount you will pay as there are other factors such as:
- Utility bills on top of your rent if it’s not included
- Broadband costs
- Any satellite or cable T.V you might want set up
- Monthly food shop
- All other outgoings you currently have i.e. mobile, car insurance, contents insurance etc
- Any travel costs
- Always have extra savings in case of any unexpected costs
Once you have this in place it would also be best to know the location you prefer whether it’s close to work, transport, schools and local amenities.
With the above in hand the search would be so much easier and less time consuming in you finding the right home.
