We had a chaotic August, cutting it very close between our current tenancy in Reading ending and finding a new place. We held out with 3 weeks to go and 2 weeks before going on holiday, and once the property came up, we booked in the viewing for a tuesday, accepted it by wednesday and on thursday and friday had the references completed with the intention to move in the following week thursday before our trip to the airport that night. This was to avoid moving things into storage and anything left at the current property to allow for cleaners, as we would have been away during our current tenancy end date and returned on a sunday evening with twice the job to do. All of this was made possible by working with Tom, helping expedite every part of the process from the third party reference company to the signing of the tenancy agreement with the landlord. Going from viewing the property to receiving the keys in less than two weeks took some effort from all sides, but Tom being aware of our situation and proactive throughout made this as smooth as it could have gone and (thankfully) made our risk taking pay off. We are more than happy with our new place and location!
