Hi, I was just wondering how long we would have to sign a rental agreement for unfurnished accomodation,or does it vary. Also how long do people usually rent for before buying a house,any advice would be great

Thanks

 

Hi Lorna,

Rental agreements are normally for 6 or 12 months. Some landlords prefer the 12 month route others like the 6 month option. I would always suggest anyone thinking of buying a property rent for at least 6 months in the area they would like to live, that way you get to know the area and if it would suit you.
