Looking To Move In September?
Then we advise to start looking no earlier than July!! September is a popular month for Students and others which would like to move during the summertime. Here is some advice for your property search if you are looking to move in the summer.
Properties which are on the market are usually available to move in with that specific month, and/or two months afterwards. The reason for this is because all of the other properties not currently advertised still have tenants in situ.
Tenants usually are asked if they would like to end their tenancy, two months before the tenancy end date.
If a tenant has a break clause, then they have a two month notice window.
We cannot predict if a property is going to be coming back onto the market sooner than two months beforehand.
Searching for a property any earlier than two months before your desired property, you will unfortunately be wasting your time.
The available date which is displayed on every property listed, usually means that the landlord would like for someone to move in within 0-14 days from this date.
For example, if a property is available in May, the landlord will not keep the property 'on hold', (receiving no rental income) for 4 months.
We hope this helps and look forward to speaking with you two months before your move date!
Best Wishes
