Once registered you can begin by clicking on the appropriate arrow on the Home page and following the prompts. You will also then have access to the FREE downloads for an SAT or AST to name a few. The list is growing daily and everything is FREE.
Decide which level of advertising you want, Standard, Power or Super.
Standard:
A basic placement allowing 1 picture.
Power:
Allowing up to 10 pictures and 2 documents, e.g. floorplan/tenancy agreement clauses/application form. Your advertisement will also have a highlighted background to help make it stand out.
Super:
Allows up to 20 pictures and up to 5 documents. It highlights in a deeper colour and is placed at the top of the pages.
Put as many details as you can such as room sizes and a description of the surroundings. (You may even consider a photograph of the immediate area around the property in the Power or Super levels of advertising to help prospective tenants get a better idea of the property’s suitability.) Also, keep your pictures to a maximum of 100kb but don't make them too small otherwise the detail will be poor when prospective tenants click on them for a larger view.
Remember to include nearby facilities like schools, medical centres, shopping, transport links, parks etc. as well as important facts about the property itself i.e. laminate flooring or brand new kitchen, double glazing, bathroom etc.
To be sure of your property being picked up by the enhanced search facility you need to give as much detail as possible e.g. pets, smoking, low fees, DSS etc. You could also state that you may only wish to let to people who have previous feedback - this would increase your chances of only getting suitable tenants applying.
It may help to try out the search facility to see what checkboxes are available to prospective tenants.
You also want to let tenants know why they should contact you about your property as the more interest shown in your advertisement the higher the chance of finding the ideal tenant.
You will also be able to activate the ‘make me an offer’ if you want to give your property a chance to find its own rent level. Remember, this is not legally binding and you may not even accept the highest offer.
Make all your charges quite clear in your advertisement. Setting up fees, deposits (and how they are protected) and any maintenance costs etc.
When you are approached by a prospective tenant take their feedback into consideration as it is a valuable feature in helping you make a decision to let.
Put as much effort into your advert as possible because you will only have to do it once as the details can be saved for the next time you wish to advertise.
Lastly, consider purchasing the available 'To Let' boards as they are professional, re-usable and have a life of several years. They also send out the message that you use Surerent with all of its features to ensure that you don't accept a bad or troublesome tenant.
