On OpenRent you can contact private landlords directly by asking a question or requesting a viewing.
We have found that messages that include a bit of information about yourself and your co-tenants get more replies than messages that just ask for a viewing.
Some landlords may receive a lot of messages, and providing some background information can help your enquiry stand out. There's no need to share too much, but including more information in your first message can really help form a connection with the landlord.
We’ve listed some suggestions of things that you could include:
- Why you're moving
- Where you work / how you plan to pay the rent
- Why you're looking in the area the property is in
- What you like about the property
- What your availability is for viewings
It is also worth doing a brief spell check for any obvious typos!
