As title really.
I'm currently looking to rent somewhere in Cardiff with my gf and its a bit competitive for 2 bed places in our price range. We pass affordability for the properties we're looking at with ease and are young professionals.
I was thinking about whether there was much leverage in us telling a landlord/agent that we would be willing to pay the 12 months rent in advance in the hope it puts it at the front of the queue when going for an apartment.
I know this kind of thing happens in other parts of the country but i've not rented for years in the UK and was wondering if anyone has done it and how they got on? and if you think it's a wise thing to do?
I'd try and negotiate a lower monthly rent so there is something in it for us too.
