• Check the route to Streatham - decide if you'll walk, cycle, or bus

• Check mobile signal strength in every room - older buildings can have weak spots

Common Mistakes When Renting on Monks Road

• Not viewing the property in person before signing - photos can be misleading
• Assuming it's equally convenient for Streatham - it's primarily suited to St Luke's students
• Not checking traffic noise on properties facing main roads
• Ignoring bills costs when comparing rent - all-inclusive simplifies budgeting
• Assuming all houses on the same road are equal quality - variation exists between landlords
