We need to know the full details of your property in order to correctly market it and provide you with the best advice. 

Think carefully about when your property will be available. Prospective tenants could make arrangements to move out of their current home based on the date you put here. It needs to be reliable. Also, if a previous tenant is moving out then ensure you leave ample time for a thorough check-out, post tenancy clean, gardening, decorating etc. As a general rule, we advise at least a week between tenancies for checking, cleaning, maintenance etc.

Tenants need to know their likely ongoing costs - the following information needs to be included in the property listing and supplied to the tenant at their request. This helps them make an informed decision whether to proceed with a property or not. 

What is the monthly rent? You are strongly advised to seek advice on valuation - remember, tenants are likely to pay the 'market rate' and not necessarily what you think it is worth. 

Deposits are legally regulated and need to be registered with an approved deposit scheme. Proudhouse can register the deposit for you or you can select a scheme yourself. The maximum legal deposit value is an amount equivalent to 5 weeks rent. 

Please tell us the basics of your property. If there are other features then you can mention those in the description later in the form. 

2 Descriptions are required - the short description is what people will see in a group of listings on a search page eg, Zoopla. The long description is the actual property details, similar to what might be produced on a printed set of particulars. When people click through from a list of search results they will see the long description

The short listing should be factual but also enticing. Don't be afraid to use good emotional terms eg; "a lovely, family home in the country" or "a convenient modern 2 bedroom house near the town centre".

The long description should be factual but contain useful information. You are strongly advised to include all aspects, including any aspects that you might think are negative. For example, if the property doesn't have a garden then say so - actually, for some this might be a bonus. 

Good property photography takes some time, and it is worth thinking about, especially if your property is currently lived in. If you've simply taken some quick snaps of your property then you probably haven't got it right. What can seem normal to you, can look very cluttered and distracting in photos. So, tidy up - temporarily remove all clutter; eg, in the kitchen, remove all the items on the worktop, remove tea towels hanging around, clear the window sill. Put all the lights on. Each room might take 10 minutes or so to prepare and photograph. It's worth it. Contact us to take photos for you if you wish.

Payment is made either via PayPal or an offline BACS transfer. If you select PayPal then you will be redirected to PayPal after you click submit. If you select offline BACS transfer then complete and submit the form. We will then invoice you to the email you have provided with BACS instructions.
