1. Location and Lifestyle
Choosing the right neighbourhood is the foundation of a happy home. Consider your daily priorities: Do you need a swift commute via local transport? Are you looking for proximity to specific schools or local amenities? We can help you identify the area that best fits your lifestyle.
2. Financial Planning
The weekly rent is just one part of your budget. To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend factoring in utility bills, council tax, and general upkeep, such as cleaning or gardening.
3. Your Rental Term
Most UK tenancies begin with a minimum 6-month term. Typically, we arrange 12-month agreements under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). For your peace of mind, all deposit funds are fully protected within the Government-authorised Deposit Protection Service (DPS).
4. Seamless Referencing
Once your offer is accepted, we utilise a professional external referencing company to verify your details. This standard process includes checking previous landlord references, current employment status, and credit history to ensure a secure agreement for both parties.
5. Dedicated Property Management
-
Managed Properties: If TK International manages your home, you will have a designated property manager to handle maintenance and emergencies swiftly.
-
Landlord Managed: If the landlord manages the property directly, we will provide you with their contact details so you can report maintenance issues to them throughout your stay.
6. Understanding the Break Clause
Flexibility is often key in London rentals. If your agreement includes a break clause and you wish to invoke it, please ensure your notice is served in writing and adheres strictly to the notice period outlined in your Tenancy Agreement.
7. Concluding Your Tenancy
As your move-out date approaches, we are here to help you ensure a full deposit return. You are responsible for arranging a professional clean and booking your Inventory Check-Out before the final day. To avoid deductions, the property should be returned in the same condition as recorded in your initial Check-In report.
