There may well be no no need or reason for this information, but better safe than sorry...
I have found a very nice flat in a good part of Coventry (yes, there are some!). It's a private let without an agent involved. Now, that means no agency fees, which is good, but the rent is very reasonable - almost too good to be true.
With that in mind, apart from a check on the Land Registry, how can I check whether it's a kosher deal and not a potential deposit/rental rip off?
