Top tip for finding property for sale or for rent in London

Written on .

Best tip for anyone trying to find a property for sale or for rent London today? Be well prepared and act fast!

The first place you go for property search nowadays is the online property portals. Most of the property in London is sold through an estate agent and the portals have thousands of listings from all the reputable local offices.

If you want to be one step ahead, give property search engines a try. For example, Regionproperty.co.uk finds property listings from all the major property websites in the UK. It even lets you subscribe to the offers to be sent on your email so that you can be sure not to miss anything. Take some time to search, filter, get a feel of what is on the market and find out what are the prices.

Property for sale

The majority of estate agents deal with residential property for sale. Commercial property and land is usually sold by the largest or specialist agents. Once you have found one agent with many suitable type of listings, do contact them to let them know what you are looking for and leave your contact details as some offers never reach the open market.

One way to ensure that you find the suitable property quickly, is to really narrow down your search right from the start. Set your budget and know what you need. Property for sale moves very quickly in London, as do prices today, so you cannot afford wasting time.

Property for rent

Finding property for rent in London is an art in itself. Although it seems nearly impossible to find something suitable during the busiest seasons, it is actually not that hard if you are well prepared. If you want to be the first one to see that fantastic flat that just became available, make sure you have those early bird reminders popping up on the mobile app or in your mailbox. To make sure that it will be you renting that flat, have your references with you and rent/deposit ready in the bank for the time of the viewing.

The demand on the London property market is very high and competition is fierce – so know where to look and be ready to act quickly.
