Private Landlord? Tenant? You NEED this new website.
Added: (Tue Oct 14 2008)
An exciting new website for landlords and tenants, www.surerent.co.uk was launched this week and is claimed to be the way forward in the private lettings market.
It claims to be the safest and easiest way to rent property in the UK and has unique features for this kind of website such as a feedback score, more precise search options such as smokers, pets, low fees etc. and a 'Make an offer' facility allowing the market rent to find its own level.
It puts tenants directly in touch with landlords without the need for agents and tenants also get their own page to keep track of properties that they are watching or considering, it also has lots of free downloads such as advice and legal documents. It is also completely free to use and keeps your identity hidden.
Landlords can easily and quickly upload their properties in a few easy steps and these are stored to reactivate at a later date. The fees for landlords to list their properties start with a free basic listing package. They also have access to many advice leaflets and documents including downloadable Tenancy Agreements.
Parking spaces, garages, student accommodation and single room lodgings can also be found on the website as well as the usual kind of lettings. If you smoke or are on benefits then this can also be specifically searched for. The feedback scores are intended to be more reliable than written references and are a powerful feature when looking for a letting.
The website is simple to use, easy on the eye and is definitely understated.
