Posting for traffic - currently looking to move out of our rented two bed flat into a 3 bed with garden. Long term renters - 5 years + in the same place.
For all the properties we've been interested in we've been asked to 'make an offer' which usually means saying what we want to pay rent wise (usually what's been asked for) plus lots of info on salary, job etc. The landlords then seem to be picking from lots of offers - sometimes but not always taking the first one. Is this normal?
We've been in the same place for ages but i'm sure we just viewed it & said we'd take and then signed up. I just find it baffling we've having to make an offer for a rented property! We saw one yesterday - 6 offers of which the landlord is now mulling over 3 - we offered over the asking monthly rent and even that doesn't seem to have won us it! Just wondering if this is normal or just in our area..!

Is putting offers in for a rented property the norm?!
