租屋

我係嚟到英國先開始搵屋,基本上隔離十日期間就不斷上網睇租盤,一睇到啱心水嘅就打電話俾經紀,約時間睇樓,順便講埋自己打算搵咩樓盤,睇吓有冇一啲未放上網嘅盤可以預早去睇樓。 第一日出去睇樓,原本約咗兩間,點知出門口嘅時候第一間個經紀就打俾我話嗰間屋今日有人落咗deposits, 所以唔能夠去睇。 第二間屋係喺openrent 找的。直接同個業主deal. 睇完間屋,各方面都唔錯,咁我哋就同個業主傾下一步應該點,點知業主話呢幾日一共有差唔多20人睇咗間屋而嚟緊三四日都繼續有人嚟睇,weekend 佢就會決定租比邊一個。業主又講20人當中已經有6 個話interested, 當中有兩個係香港家庭。 第二日約左睇五間,有車就會方便一啲。其中一間,佢係包傢俬的,個業主都好Nice,佢話月尾會搬走,不過會攞走主人房張床,佢會買嗰張新嘅俾我。不過呢間亦都有好多人睇,更加有一個現在做緊ref. Check.. 有啲agent 係要求有6個月uk bank statements. 有啲agent 係要求有工作證明先至安排你去睇樓。ref. Check 有機會問你過往六年你嘅居住證明。 呢度較為多用post code ,例如話俾agent 知想搵屋在RG12,RG5, RG6 。我一共俾咗六個post code agent 找。 有小朋友嘅家庭就記得問吓Council 你小朋友嘅年紀邊啲學校有位。方便搵屋嘅時候搵返學校附近。 我哋喺隔離嗰10日就直接咁樣上網站搵屋。因為已經喺英國,又有英國電話,啲agent都樂意打返電話俾我。亦試過video live 睇屋。亦試過有一間Agent 公司拒絕,因為冇英國嘅工作證明。 最好有車啦,咁就方便啲.... 我試過... 一日睇左5間..... 每次睇... 大慨10-15分鐘,之後就會揸住架車,兜下周圍.... 試過有一個業主,我睇完之後我表達有意思租,佢就話要等多幾日,因為之前已經約咗一啲人黎睇樓,希望收集晒所有有興趣嘅人,最後一次過揀邊一個可以租佢間屋。 有人話每日check 下right move 有冇咩新盤,我覺得呢個係一個方法,不過如果再想快啲不妨聯絡當地經紀,因為有啲盤未上rightmove, 佢哋都已經可以睇到間屋。有啲地方競爭激烈,我之前睇過一間屋原來已經有六七個人有興趣。所以如果你係第一或者第二個人睇間屋,又盡快決定,咁你可以...

租屋流程

我哋今次再詳細啲去講 租屋 當中嘅流程。 搵盤 首先,普遍都會上去rightmove 或 zoopla 搵盤,agents 係會有啲未放上市場嘅盤告知我哋,但資料就未必完全齊備,例如未有內部相片、未有確實起租日期、甚至未有確實定價等,所以,主力都係靠以上兩個渠道係最多最齊最集中。 當見到啱心水嘅盤,主要都係用電話聯絡地產經紀(agent),有時打電話打咗好多次都冇人聽,就先爭取時間上網填咗啲基本資料俾agent 先,希望喺你未打到電話之前佢會主動搵你(當然呢個機會好微,但都有幸試過agent自動打返電話嚟嘅)。打得通呢個電話搵啱人你就成功咗第一步,agent或會直接安排睇樓時間,但如果間屋仍然有租客住緊,agent就要稍後和租客夾好時間才覆你。留意番,如果agent好耐都冇搵返你嘅話,你需要再打電話去跟進,因為有時佢哋係會唔記得咗,又或者曾經嘗試搵過你一次你冇聽電話佢哋就唔會再搵你,直接放棄你。 另外,有時見到啲盤經OpenRent出租,即係由業主自己放盤,不經地產經紀,約睇這類型嘅盤最直接就係上OpenRent嘅平台搵返個盤出嚟,然後send message俾個業主,講自己background,希望業主選中你,安排你去約睇。 睇屋&出Offer 睇屋當日,agent 會大概講一次間屋各樣嘢俾你知,有任何疑問請當刻問清楚,同agent傾過嘅重要事項請你出Offer嘅時候清楚寫明,免得之後口同鼻拗,例如你見到隻窗爛咗而agent話業主會整返,你就喺出Offer時寫明 “assumed the broken window in kitchen will be repaired before tenancy starts”。出offer主要係填offer form 或者出個offer email, 之後再補電話確認agent收到你嘅offer。出offer時,要列明租金、租期、起租日期、會否俾upfront, 會俾幾多個月等。跟住就係講出你對間屋嘅要求,例如要做專業清潔,要油油,要處理牆身發霉,同埋先前提及嘅一啲特別事項等。 而每個agent收到offer後做法都可能不同,有啲一收到有人出offer,就會交俾業主睇吓接唔接受。有啲就等吓先,收齊晒先一次過交俾業主決定揀邊一個。所以,如果有心租嘅話,唔好拖得太耐,盡快決定然後通知agent,成功機會就會大啲。 當業主...
