Process to follow:n
- Start looking at least 3 months before you need to move in
- Use Rightmove and SpareRoom — not Facebook groups — for your main search
- Never pay a deposit without a signed tenancy agreement
- Check the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating — a low rating means higher bills
- Ask specifically if the deposit is protected in a government scheme (TDS, DPS or MyDeposits)
nnRed flags to walk away from:n
- Landlord requests payment before viewing or signing
- Price significantly below market rate
- Pressure to decide immediately
