1. There are usually two ways to rent a house in Britain, one is direct rent by the landlord and the other is intermediary rent. Influenced by the inherent concepts in China, some students may think that renting a house directly from the landlord will not generate intermediary fees and other expenses, which can save a lot of expenses. But in fact, the landlord rents it out for individuals. If you meet an unreliable landlord, it may be difficult to seek protection when you encounter problems.
When you confirm the reservation, you need to pay the deposit and fill in the application form. The agent will take down the house and keep it for you for the time being.
3. Upload a letter of recommendation (usually passport, visa and school admission notice). This link is to confirm whether the tenant can legally rent a house in the UK, because the law stipulates that renting a house in the UK must meet the requirements of 18 and have a legal residence visa.
4. Wait for the landlord to confirm the rental quotation. If the landlord refuses to provide it, the previous deposit will be refunded in full; If the landlord cancels the house inspection for personal reasons after accepting the quotation, the deposit will not be refunded.
5. When exchanging contracts 4-6 weeks before check-in, it is necessary to determine the specific check-in date and pay the rent and the rent for the remaining 4-5 weeks as a deposit.
