How to write a rental brief that gets better matches

Bright living room, 2 bedroom apartment in Kilimani

The clearer your brief, the better your matches. Here is what to include before you contact an agent.

1. Your budget, including extras

Decide on a monthly rent you are comfortable with, and remember to allow for the deposit, service charge and utilities.

2. Your preferred areas

Pick two or three areas rather than one. It widens your options without losing what matters to you.

3. Bedrooms and must-haves

Be clear on the number of bedrooms and the two or three things you cannot live without, such as parking, a balcony or a short commute.

4. Your move-in date

Tell us when you need to move so we can focus on homes that are available when you need them.

Ready? Fill in your brief and we will take it from there.
