If you browse online listings for rental properties in the UK, you will find quite a lot of options available. But this is extremely deceptive: renting or buying a British property as an expat is not straight forward. These are a few of the hurdles you may face:
The United Kingdom is a landlords’ market. For each listing you will find, there can be multiple applications.The landlord or the agency managing the property are the ones that make the choice.To rent a property you will need to prove that you have the right to reside in the UK. This makes it impossible for new expats to find a home on their own before their arrival. Viewing a property is essential prior to committing to a tenancy agreementIn major cities like London, Brighton, Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow or Edinburgh, competition is cut-throat, so you’ll often have to settle for a property that’s outside your area of interest or outside your budget. None of these are fun compromises to make!The solution? You can stay in a hotel or a short-term rental property. But both of these options can get very expensive very fast. If you don’t want to waste time and money, there’s an easier, faster and smarter way: let relocation professionals handle home finding for you.
