Finding the perfect property

Find the perfect property with Springbok Properties


Here is some advice about identifying the right property, as well as new reviews. If you would like to read new reviews, read the Springbok Properties reviews blog here. The most important three things in a property are location, quality (safe and secure, the building structurally and in terms of presentation) and how well it is managed. Whether the property has a professional managing agent, or a landlord trying to do it all alone is also an important consideration.

As a tenant you have be rest assured that even before you see the property the photos and description of that property are accurate. You won’t find the property in the first place if it is not put up on websites like Rightmove or Zoopla and marketed correctly. Even without a ‘To Let’ board outside, you don’t know it is even up for rent.

Once you find your property you need to have some essential things in place, like a tenancy agreement that is air tight and benefits both you and the landlord, 24 hour help in case you lose your keys at 2am, deposit protection that is covered by a registered scheme, and electrical and gas safety inspections. Everything has to be recorded, from reporting a fault to asking for more time to pay the rent. The landlord has to be able to background check you and the previous tenants so you know a high standard of person has lived there before you and the place is fit for purpose. It also has to have an inventory list, so everyone is on the same page and your deposit is secure for when you leave.

Springbok properties work with landlords and tenants to keep everything professional and make the whole process run smoothly. On their website you can easily chose the criteria for your property or browse what properties they have.
