Viewing Checklist for St Johns Road

• Time the walk to St Luke's Campus from the exact property
• Check the route to Streatham - decide if you'll walk, cycle, or bus
• Walk the route from St Johns Road to your campus at the time you'd normally travel
• Check mobile signal strength in every room - older buildings can have weak spots

Common Mistakes When Renting on St Johns 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
• Not checking the heating type and expected winter costs
