We put people at the heart of our service which is why tenants come back to us again and again. If you are looking for a property to rent in London, look no further. We provide a consultative approach that makes the entire renting process as smooth and straightforward as possible – from searching for your home to agreeing rental terms and moving you into your new home.
If you don’t quite know what type of home to look for or which area will suit both your work or lifestyle, we’ll take the time to get to know your preferences, identifying locations and properties best suited to your current and future needs. Whatever your reason, from needing to rent after relocating from abroad or you might have work commitments which keep you away from home during the week, we will walk side by side with you to find your ideal home.
- We provide short and long term lettings in London
- We ensure that your home meets the current standardsrequired by legislation
- Most people who rent their home are in an assured shorthold tenancy (AST), but other agreements do exist which have different levels of rights.
- The tenancy details basic rights provided under the current legislation, other conditions may be added into the tenancy agreement.
- The tenancy agreement is signed by both the tenant and landlord, both will receive a copy of the signed agreement.
- A tenant has the right to live in their home without being disturbed. The landlord and other people cannot enter freely when they wish and must seek permission to visit – typically at least 24 hours at a mutually convenient time.
- Tenants must keep within the terms of their tenancy agreement. We advise you dully read the agreement and keep it in a safe place.
- General conditions mean rent should be paid, in full and on-time, you take care of the property and inform the management agent / landlord if repairs need to be carried out., allowing access for works to be carried out.
- During the term of the tenancy the tenant is required to pay for gas, electricity, water, telephone charges and Council Tax unless otherwise stated. Tenants should contact the utility companies directly to ensure that the supplies are transferred into their name and are not disconnected.
- Tenants should inform the management agent / landlord if they plan to leave their home empty for up to a fortnight.
Prior to the commencement of the tenancy, the initial monies will be required in cleared funds of:
- The first months rental payment in advance.
- One month deposit unless stated otherwise – usually held by the Deposit Protection Service .
- Administration fee – this is dependent on the tenancy term and conditions.
- Landlords must have a valid gas safety certificate for every gas appliance. Furniture should be fire resistant to current regulations if property is furnished.
- Property must have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and an Electrical Safety Certificate that is effective from July 1st 2020.
- Landlords are required to adequately licence the property as required.
- The rent level and agreed payment due date will be documented in the tenancy agreement.
- The agreed rent must be paid on time or landlords may take court action to have the tenant evicted.
- Tenants within a fixed-term can only end the tenancy during that time if their tenancy agreement says so. This will depend upon the agreed notice period and maybe subject to early termination penalty fees.
- Ideal Quarters will contact you approximately two to three months before the expiry date of your tenancy to establish what your plans are for remaining in the property.

Properties can be the biggest single investment for most Landlords. The property repairs and maintenance need to be managed effectively, to both maintain the property and keep the costs down. The dripping tap left for a couple of weeks can easily result in a flood leading to the cost of a new ceiling and disgruntled tenants.
Yet we understand that repairs and maintenance are tedious and time consuming for many Landlords, tenants and even in your own homes.
This is where Ideal Quarters can offer you theservices of our preferred partners.
