[For rent] 3-bed apartment in Birmingham — £1,753/month

[DirectCairn]

Timing is the first point I need prospective tenants to clarify, as I cannot assess a match without a proposed move-in date. The property is a 3-bed Birmingham apartment of about 1,130 sq ft, offered at £1,753 per month for a long-term tenancy.

The agreed lease will set out the deposit, start date and whether any charges are included. When enquiring, please mention your intended moving date and whether you have pets. Questions about the furnishing level, condition, nearby transport, running costs and responsibility for maintenance are welcome here.

Is it furnished, part-furnished or empty? It would also help to know which charges, if any, are included in the £1,753, and whether utilities are billed directly to the tenant. Proposed move date would be early next month, subject to viewing and terms.

Could you give the approximate area or nearest transport connection without posting the full address? Birmingham commutes vary a lot, so the size and rent alone are difficult to assess. I’d also want to know the lease length and whether pets would be considered.

I’d avoid settling the deposit individually for each applicant. A clear figure or calculation method would make the listing easier to compare and reduce back-and-forth. Also, what is the process for reporting maintenance, and who handles repairs?

Agree on getting the practical terms in writing, though some flexibility on deposit or start date may be reasonable if the lease length changes. The most useful next step would be one combined update covering furnishing, included charges, utility billing, pet terms, earliest availability and the minimum tenancy period.
