A useful first discussion starts with a clear description of the property and what you are looking to explore. Detailed documents can follow through an agreed route.
A short outline is enough to begin
- The area or postcode district.
- The property type and approximate bedroom count.
- Its current condition and whether work is planned.
- Whether it is occupied and the broad timescale.
- Your role and what kind of arrangement you want to discuss.
Protect other people’s information
Do not include tenant names, tenancy documents or photographs showing personal possessions or identifying details in an initial public enquiry.
Be ready for an individual assessment
A property’s suitability depends on more than its size. Location, layout, condition, safety and the intended living arrangements all need consideration. Any requirements and commercial terms must be confirmed for the particular proposal.
A conversation is not a commitment
Do not assume that an initial expression of interest guarantees acceptance, rent or returns. Establish the assessment process and obtain appropriate advice before entering an agreement.
