Look beyond the advertised rent.
Ask for rent, building charges, estimated utilities, deposit and every initial cost as separate figures. A cheaper room with a long or unreliable commute can cost more in time and transport.
Prepare a useful introduction.
State your course or work, move-in date, expected stay and whether you have documented income or a guarantor. Do not attach identity documents to a first message.
