Finding the Perfect Property
For Tenants
The first step is to discover a property that meets your requirements. London boasts various properties, from modern apartments to historic homes.
At Cribs Estates, we pay attention to your needs, including your budget, preferred location, and any specific requirements you may have.
For Landlords
If you have a property to rent out, Cribs Estates will assist you in finding suitable tenants. We advertise your property across multiple platforms to ensure that it reaches a large audience. Our objective is to secure dependable tenants for you promptly.
Viewing Properties
For Tenants
Once we compile a list of potential properties, we schedule viewings at times that work for you. Our agents will be present during the viewing to address any queries. We furnish comprehensive details about the property and the local area.
For Landlords
We take care of all aspects of the viewings.
Our experienced agents will exhibit your property to potential tenants, emphasising its finest attributes. This allows you to unwind while we locate the right tenants for you.
Making an Offer
For Tenants
If you find a property you're interested in, the next step is to submit an offer. We will assist you in ensuring your offer is transparent and competitive.
We liaise with the landlord on your behalf.
For Landlords
When an offer is made, we will present it to you along with all the details about the potential tenants. We will offer counsel regarding the offer, aiding you in making an informed decision.
Referencing and Verification
For Tenants
Once your offer has been accepted, we will verify your employment status, income, and rental history. Providing accurate information will help speed up this process.
For Landlords
We will conduct thorough reference checks on all potential tenants, including credit checks, employment verification, and contacting previous landlords.
Knowing that your property is in good hands will give you peace of mind.
Executing the Tenancy Agreement
For Tenants
Following successful referencing, we will prepare the tenancy agreement, which will outline the terms and conditions of the rental. We will thoroughly explain all clauses to you before you sign.
For Landlords
We will create a comprehensive tenancy agreement that safeguards your interests and ensures that all legal requirements are met. We will explain the terms clearly before both parties sign the deal, making it legally binding.
Deposits and Rental Payments
For Tenants
Before you move in, you must make a payment equal to one month's rent as a deposit. This deposit will be held in a deposit protection scheme approved by the government. Additionally, you must pay the first month’s rent in advance.
For Landlords
We manage the collection of the deposit and the first month’s rent. The deposit is securely held in a deposit protection scheme we administer on your behalf.
Moving In
For Tenants
On the day you move in, we will give you the keys and a welcome pack containing important information about the property and contact details for any maintenance issues.

We ensure the property is prepared for the tenants, conduct a thorough inspection, and perform any necessary cleaning or repairs.
Additionally, we provide the tenants with a welcome pack and emergency contact details.
