Rental Acquisition Service
In Cambridge the rental market is very fast moving. Good properties come onto the market infrequently and therefore let quickly. Hence it is essential to be able to act swiftly to secure the ideal home to rent.
Relocate Cambridge has an excellent relationship with all the local letting/rental agents and private landlords which frequently means we have prior knowledge of high quality properties before they come onto the open market.
Step by step guide to the rental acquisition service
Following our initial consultation we will proceed as follows:
- Property Search/House Hunting
Relocate Cambridge thoroughly evaluates all rental properties currently on the market which meet your criteria. We will view those we consider to be most suitable and compile a shortlist for your approval.
- Accompanied Property Viewing
At a mutually convenient time we can collect you from a railway station, hotel or office in the Cambridge area and accompany you on pre-arranged viewings of the short-listed properties.
