The cost and registration of renting an apartment in England
In matters of payment, the British are not much different from others, and most agencies ask to make an advance payment a few weeks in advance. However, this is possible, provided that if the lessor changes to rent housing, then this amount is returned, and if you become the initiator, then do not wait for your money. Only a passport is required of the documents, in rare cases, confirmation from work or place of study. To pay, you need to open an account with any bank of London, and then present confirmation from the bank that there is money on your account, that you are solvent. All operations for the delivery of housing are held through intermediaries, that is, real estate agencies, so they also need to pay for them to draw up a contract. Documents will take about 5 days.
We enter the apartment
Documents are executed, the contract was signed, the money was paid, and now you finally drove into the apartment. First of all, it is necessary to inform the local administration and pay the local tax, as well as contact all utilities. To watch TV, you need to buy a special license. Without this, no way. When signing the contract, carefully read the moments that relate to household issues (who should change the burned light bulb, who to repair the refrigerator, etc. p.). This is necessary in order to protect yourself from minor misunderstandings.
