There's now an average of 25 enquiries for every listing.
Competition is stiff There may have been a time when good references and a deposit were all you needed to get yourself a rental home, but in 2023 you’ll need to bring far more to the table. Although the number of tenants looking to move has increased by 40% since 2019, the number of available properties has dropped by 35%, Rightmove reported this week. As a result, more of us are vying for the places that do crop up, with agents receiving an average of 25 enquiries for each and every listing .
And even if this property isn’t ‘the one’, politeness at the viewing could pay off further down the line. ‘If needs be, fake an interest,’ adds Mark. ‘You’d be surprised how often a tenant disregards a property almost immediately, before returning later once it’s already been let as they simply can’t find anything else suitable in their desired area.
