When it comes to making an offer on a property a bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.
If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
To make an offer, simply click on the ‘Make offer’ button at the top of this page, then input your email address so we can send you an offer form for you to complete and send back to us. There is no need to register for an account, and the email includes key information for prospective tenants so you know everything you need to before you make an offer.
