One of the first steps in the rental process is advertising your property to reach prospective tenants. The best way to find tenants is by posting effective advertisements for your property on top rental listing sites - such as Zoopla, Rightmove, PrimeLocation, MakeUrMove, to name a few. Online platforms allow you to expand your visibility and reach much more renters than simply placing ads offline through brick-and-mortar locations, which can boost your chances of finding a good, reliable tenant.
MakeUrMove offers a simple, easy way to advertise and manage your property. Our user-friendly property management software and ARLA qualified team help DIY landlords with compliance, tenant find, rent collection and beyond - without any hidden extra fees and agent commission!
So, you’re ready to let your property out. What’s the best way to get started?
Since you’re here, high chance is you are not a fan of high street estate agents and their steep fees - we’re not either. Using a property management software improve your organisation and allow you to have more time to address priorities. Meanwhile, tenants can also benefit from trusted service and everything being streamlined digitally. It’s a win-win, really.
There are 3 packages you can select from when you choose to let with MakeUrMove.
Our Basic package is always free and allows you to advertise on MakeUrMove’s online portal. The system matches your property to registered prospective tenants and notifies them of your new listing. You can access your viewing arrangement diary on your landlord account and receive viewing reminders. When you’ve found the right tenant, a tenancy agreement is also available for free download.
If you wish to advertise not only on MakeUrMove, you can advertise your property on major portals like Rightmove and Zoopla with our Standard package. All the features of our Basic package are included, plus an online signature tenancy pack, which will be stored in your account and can be accessed anytime after signing - always safe and no paperwork needed!
If you need tenant reference checks, it costs £39 per tenant when you’re on the Standard package.
The most popular choice by our landlords is the Good Landlord package, which seamlessly takes care of every important step from advertising to tenant reference checks to rent collection.
Our Good Landlord package includes everything in the Standard package along with tenant reference checks, legal eviction assistance and property licence monitoring. You can also choose to use our rent collection service for free, where we collect rent for you, issue reminders to the tenant when payment is due, record receipts and chase up any arrears if needed.* Landlords can also order add-on services and full property management service at a fraction of the normal price.
*We hold Client Money Protection and are members of Safe Agent

Is buying off-plan a good idea or not?
You cannot rent out your home if you still have a residential mortgage, and you certainly can’t buy a rental property with a residential mortgage. But are there any other ways to rent your property without a BTL mortgage?
