Rental Property Search
Finding the Perfect Rental Property
Our Rental Property Search service follows the same careful approach as our property finding for buyers, ensuring clients renting a home receive the same level of attention and expertise.
This service is often chosen by those relocating to Northern Ireland, clients not yet ready to purchase, or individuals needing temporary accommodation. We manage the entire process on your behalf, from identifying suitable properties and advising on rental values, to liaising with letting agents and landlords through to the day you move in.
By taking time to understand your requirements and combining this with our market knowledge of stock availability and rent levels, we can guide you towards the best options available.
If you are planning a rental property search in Northern Ireland, we would be delighted to assist. Please contact us for a no-obligation discussion about how we can help.

Setting the brief
To carry out an effective rental search, it is important that we have a clear understanding of your requirements. The more detail you can provide at the outset, the more efficient and focused the search will be.
While renting may not carry the same long-term commitment as buying, the property will still be your home, so it needs to meet your key priorities. Alongside essentials such as size, location, furnishings and move date, it is also useful for us to know how long you intend to stay in the property.
Once we have gathered this information, your consultant will begin sourcing suitable rental options in Northern Ireland, ensuring the shortlist reflects both your needs and current market availability.
Accompanied tour
The rental market in Northern Ireland moves quickly, with properties often available for only a short time. To make the most of this, we recommend setting aside a day for viewings, during which your consultant will arrange and accompany you to suitable properties.
During the tour, we help assess each property against your brief and highlight practical considerations that may affect your decision. Because rental properties can let within days, there is often limited opportunity for second viewings, making it important to be thorough at this stage.
Larger or more distinctive rental properties may remain on the market for longer, and in such cases we can also arrange viewings as opportunities arise.
Securing a rental property
Finding the right rental home can feel challenging, particularly if you are new to an area. Our consultants use their local knowledge to guide you through the process and ensure that the property you choose is the right fit for your needs.
Once you decide to proceed with a property, we carry out due diligence and liaise with the letting agent to gather all relevant information before an offer is made. We then support you through the negotiation and agreement of terms, overseeing the necessary steps with the agent and ensuring everything is in place for a smooth move-in.
Inventory and moving in
Before your tenancy begins, an inventory and check-in will usually be carried out by the landlord or their agent. A Garrington consultant will be present to ensure the property is handed over as agreed, noting any issues that should be included in the inventory.
We also oversee practical details such as recording meter readings, which can easily be overlooked during a busy move. Our role is to make sure everything is in order from the outset, so you can move into your new rental home with confidence.
