Choosing the Type of Let
The type of let you ultimately decide upon will be completely unique to you and depend on your circumstances and situation. Whether you’re searching for a short-term rental or something more permanent, the Chesworths team are here to help you.
What is a short let?
A short let can be a more cost-effective way of staying in an area for a short time without huge hotel fees. Short let properties can be rented for a few weeks and up to 6 months at a time. You can also choose whether your short let is fully furnished, partly furnished, or unfurnished.
Short lets are a great option for those who:
Are temporarily in an area for business reasons
Are in the process of relocating for a job
Are visiting relatives for a few months
Are visiting from overseas on a short- or medium-term visa
Are awaiting the sale of a property
Are having work done on their primary home
Are new to an area and want to explore before committing to purchase
What is a long let?
A long let refers to tenancies over six months. They are perfect for those who want to stay in an area for six months or longer or want to commit to an area for the long term.
Long lets are a great option for those who:
Want the option to choose a fully furnished or unfurnished property
Don’t want to move around a lot
Want the security of a fixed rental term
Already have connections in the area in which they are moving to
Are enrolled in a school or have a new job in the area
Have recently faced a temporary employment role becoming permanent
What is a managed property?
A managed property refers to various services designed to make the renting process as smooth as possible. Some benefits include a dedicated property manager, access to maintenance contractors and caretaking, and a 24-hour emergency callout service.
What is a corporate let?
A corporate let refers to a tenancy in which the tenant is a business or organisation. Therefore, the property is rented exclusively for housing staff members on a contract or until they can find something permanent.
