But what about moving into a house you had never been to see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the coronavirus lockdown, that\u2019s exactly what happened to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until recently, I lived in a house-share in Peckham, London, on a 24-month contract, with a break clause at 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While my housemates and I loved the area, the house had seen better days, to put it nicely. Dog-eared furniture, mouldy ceilings and faulty kitchen appliances finally got to us and we decided in March to give our notice to the landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that was pre-lockdown. Back then country was still in \u2018everything is fine, everybody go to Cheltenham Races\u2019 mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as you would, we started looking online for new places to live. Eventually, we found a suitable place through OpenRent with a private landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being the veteran of a few moves, we were all aware of letting agents\u2019 magical ability to make crap places look like palaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What swung it for us was that, alongside being a nice place, the landlord was clearly no photographer, so there was less of a risk that the place would actually be a cesspit when we went to view it. Bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, then, from out of nowhere, lockdown was announced and with it, property viewings were banned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hearts sank. We had already given our notice to our current landlord and so we had to leave by 15 May. Yet we now had no way of finding out whether the property we had chosen was actually a hovel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as we hated the idea, there was no alternative but to bite the bullet and move in anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On moving day, it was a little like waking up on Christmas morning, excited about what presents await you under the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except that you don\u2019t know whether your parents have got you a PlayStation or a 25-year-old beaten up GameBoy. Thankfully, it was the former and I am currently writing this from a light and airy (but roasting) conservatory in SE11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But things could have quite easily gone dreadfully wrong and I have certainly learnt a thing or two about renting that I never knew before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while viewings are allowed again now, there are people who choose to move into homes they have never seen, particularly if they are moving to the other end of the country, or even a different country altogether for that matter. Google it, if you don\u2019t believe me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as someone who has taken such a giant leap of faith, here are some helpful hints and tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get more proof of a property\u2019s condition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that you are on the right side of the supply and demand relationship in this circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The landlord has a property to fill and you need to be assured its safe and clean, and actually resembles the photos on a letting agent\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you are well within your rights to ask for a video tour of the property and closeups on things like the sockets and furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they refuse, there\u2019s a good reason why and you should probably look elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Share tasks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re moving in with other people \u2013 friends, or perhaps a partner \u2013 share the property search responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And use all of the search websites \u2013 Rightmove, Zoopla \u2013 the lot, as you might miss a gem if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We added potential properties to a Google Sheets document, all marked up with the price, location and our own observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That helped us quickly work out which ones were worth considering and which ones weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Research the area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s nothing worse than finding the perfect house but turning up and realising you hate the area. So before you move in, find out more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it have a crime problem? Is the house miles away from public transport? Are there fun things to do nearby? And perhaps most importantly, what are the pubs like? These are all important questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Maps is also a great tool to see what the surroundings look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019t be pushed around by agents<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, find an agent you trust &#8211; that applies even if you are able to view a property \u2013 and don\u2019t let them force you into making decision you\u2019re not comfortable with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, we were in a rush, but that doesn\u2019t mean that we had to jump at the very first offer. It\u2019s fine to negotiate on price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And also, if there is something about the house you don\u2019t like (does it need repainting? Has it been checked for rodents?) then raise it. Remember, you\u2019re the customer and therefore you\u2019re in control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving can be stressful at the best of times.
