2324          <p class="quick-answer"><strong>Quick answer.</strong>  Before you sign a tenancy, ask the letting agent a few simple broadband questions: what broadband the property currently has and at what speed, whether full fibre is available or installed, whether there is an existing line you can order over, and whether the landlord allows a new full-fibre install if one is needed.  Then confirm it yourself with a quick postcode check, since agents do not always know the detail.  Doing this before you commit means no surprises, and it lets you line up a deal so you are online on move-in day.</p>

2702        <p>
2702Broadband is one of the easiest things to get wrong when you rent, and one of the easiest to check in advance.  Asking the letting agent a few simple questions at the viewing or before you sign tells you what you will be able to get, flags anything that might need the landlord's permission, and lets you line up a deal so you are online on move-in day rather than scrambling afterwards.</p>
2703
2704
2705
2706
2707
2708
2709        <p>It is worth remembering that agents do not always know the technical detail, and their answer is a starting point rather than the final word.  That is why the smart approach is to ask, then verify with a quick postcode check of your own.  The two together give you a complete, reliable picture before you commit.</p>
