Childs Family Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Just wondered how long it takes to secure a long term rental. Is 2 weeks realistically enough time? We'll have a little over 2 weeks from when we arrive until the schools close for Xmas holidays and would like to find somewhere asap so we've got an address sorted in order to get the children enrolled in school. Looking at Halls Head area. Would be interested to hear how long it took people. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 If the rental market stays the way it is at the moment a couple of days would be fine, never mind weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I wouldn't worry too much, we sorted a rental within a week and that was 12 months ago when demand was higher. We didn't offer to pay up front either, we were prepared to but had been told that there was no need in the current market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 That's interesting I thought you had to pay 3/6 months in advance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 We explained that we'd just got off the plane and didn't have jobs. We proved we had the funds to be able to pay and that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
