Tenant Benefits This Autumn

Searching for your dream rental property this season has never been easier

As the vibrant colors of autumn take over, tenants can take advantage of a variety of benefits when it comes to renting. So, whether you’re looking for your first rental property or thinking about moving, autumn might just be the ideal time to secure a great property.

One of the biggest advantages of renting in autumn is the potential for less fierce competition. During the summer months, competition for rental homes typically spikes, often leading to disappointment when you miss out on a property you loved, or it has been let before you even get a chance to view it! In addition, this dip in demand may offer potential tenants the chance to negotiate more favorable terms. This is particularly true in areas like Dundee and Edinburgh, where student demand during the summer months creates a shortage of rental properties.

In East Lothian, with its picturesque coastal towns, autumn brings a quieter atmosphere. With fewer tourists around, landlords might be more flexible on rental agreements or discounts, making it a great time for tenants to secure a property at a reduced rate or negotiate additional perks – did someone say new sofa?

Autumn also offers comfortable moving conditions and a somewhat slower pace before the festive period, allowing for a more relaxed and refined property search experience. Plus, many properties available in the autumn tend to come with features perfect for the colder months ahead, such as new boilers and insulation, or proximity to scenic autumn walks.
