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> 2325 2326 2327 2328 2329 2330 2331 </div> 2332 2333 2334 2335 2336 2337 2338 </aside> 2339 2340 2341 2342 2343 2344 2345 2346 2347 2348 2349 2350 2351 2352 <section class="tldr" aria-label="At a glance"> 2353 2354 2355 2356 2357 2358 2359 <div class="bbs-h2-row"><svg class="bbs-h2-icon" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M12 2v4M12 18v4M4.93 4.93l2.83 2.83M16.24 16.24l2.83 2.83M2 12h4M18 12h4M4.93 19.07l2.83-2.83M16.24 7.76l2.83-2.83"/><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="3"/></svg><h2 class="section-title" id="at-a-glance">At a glance</h2></div> 2360 2361 2362 2363 2364 2365 2366 <ul class="bbs-facts-grid" role="list"> 2367 2368 2369 2370 2371 2372 2373 <li class="bbs-fact"><span class="bbs-fact__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M20 6L9 17l-5-5"/></svg></span><p><strong>Ask before you sign.</strong> Broadband is easy to confirm in advance, so make it part of your viewing questions.</p></li> 2374 2375 2376 2377 2378 2379 2380 <li class="bbs-fact"><span class="bbs-fact__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M20 6L9 17l-5-5"/></svg></span><p><strong>What does it have now?</strong> Ask the current technology and speed, and whether full fibre is available.</p></li> 2381 2382 2383 2384 2385 2386 2387 <li class="bbs-fact"><span class="bbs-fact__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M20 6L9 17l-5-5"/></svg></span><p><strong>Is there an existing line?</strong> If so, you can usually order over it with no permission needed.</p></li> 2388 2389 2390 2391 2392 2393 2394 <li class="bbs-fact"><span class="bbs-fact__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M20 6L9 17l-5-5"/></svg></span><p><strong>Will the landlord allow an install?</strong> Check now if a new full-fibre line may need consent for building work.</p></li> 2395 2396 2397 2398 2399 2400 2401 <li class="bbs-fact"><span class="bbs-fact__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M20 6L9 17l-5-5"/></svg></span><p><strong>Verify it yourself.</strong> Agents do not always know the detail, so confirm with a quick postcode check.</p></li> 2402 2403 2404 2405 2406 2407 2408 <li class="bbs-fact"><span class="bbs-fact__icon" aria-hidden="true"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M20 6L9 17l-5-5"/></svg></span><p><strong>Line up your deal.</strong> Knowing the answers lets you order ahead so you are online on move-in day.</p></li> 2409 2410 2411 2412 2413 2414 2415 </ul> 2416 2417 2418 2419 2420 2421 2422 </section> 2423 2424 2425 2426 2427 2428 2429 2430 2431 2432 2433 2434 2435 2436 <div class="bbs-postcode-cta" id="check-postcode"> 2437 2438 2439 2440 2441 2442 2443 <p class="bbs-postcode-cta__lead">Verify what the agent tells you: check the broadband at the address across 30+ UK providers.</p> 2444 2445 2446 2447 2448 2449 2450 <form class="footer-cta-form postcode-form" data-src="moving-renting-lettingagent-inline-top" action="/compare/" method="GET"> 2451 2452 2453 2454 2455 2456 2457 <input type="text" name="postcode" class="footer-cta-input" placeholder="Enter postcode" aria-label="Postcode" autocomplete="postal-code" maxlength="8" required pattern="^[A-Za-z]{1,2}[0-9][A-Za-z0-9]?

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> 2710 2711 2712 2713 2714 2715 2716 </section> 2717 2718 2719 2720 2721 2722 2723 2724 2725 2726 2727 2728 2729 2730 <section class="bbs-section" id="questions"><div class="bbs-h2-row"><svg class="bbs-h2-icon" aria-hidden="true" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><path d="M9 11l3 3L22 4"/><path d="M21 12v7a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V5a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h11"/></svg><h2 class="section-title" id="questions">The questions to ask</h2> 2731 2732 2733 2734 2735 2736 2737 </div> 2738 2739 2740 2741 2742 2743 2744 <p class="quick-answer">Property portals show indicative broadband speeds, but the figures are third-party estimates, not guarantees.
