We want you to be happy with your new home, so we need you to tell us about what you’re looking for in a property. It can take time and money to find the right place and to move in, so it’s worth thinking about what would best suit you and your family.

Talk to us about your preferences, whether it being a short walk from the town or having somewhere for your children to play outside. We can then suggest homes we feel will best meet your needs and will advise if we feel there may need to be compromises made too.

There are some steps you can take to make the process of finding your new home easier:

• Check your finances – make sure you are aware of the costs and set payments included in renting before you start your search
• Establish what matters to you and what you would like to see in your new home
• Budget for your tenancy and make sure you understand the ongoing cost of renting
• Fill in the rental application to secure your new home
• Understand your responsibilities as a tenant
• Understand what you need to do to extend or end your tenancy
• What you need to do before moving out of your home
