Tips For Tenants

Renting couldn’t be easier for our tenants, so we have put some top tips together to help you find the perfect Poppy property.

  • Talk to the team. The most helpful people to talk to when looking to find a rental property is our expert team.
  • Furnished or Unfurnished? This decision should be made early on as it allows you to narrow down your search.
  • Always view the property. Viewing a potential property not only allows you to imagine yourself living there, but it also gives you the time to view the condition of the property.
  • Consider the layout. Does it have the number of bedrooms you require? Is there enough parking? Does the bathroom have a bath or shower, or both?
  • Budget right. Work out honestly what you can afford and set a budget to guide you through the process.
