Me and my girlfriend are looking to rent a house/flat within the next year.
I just wondered if anyone had any tips, or good companies/people/websites to look into. I have looked into it a fair bit but it is difficult to know who to trust.
Any help would be much appreciated.

So why the feck are you asking us then? :biggrin:
 
Dont do it............. you will live to regret it.

Get a flat yourself or share with a mate,............. this is good advise

If I wasn't on cider I would not tell you...................
 
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99.... If I could offer you only one tip for the future....sunscreen would be it.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…

I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Sing.

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..

Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasise
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will
look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…

;)
 
Thanks for that TVFA but any serious advice?
 
Yes. ...the amount you agree to pay in rent per month is negotiable, dont let anybody tell you it isn't.

Check the inventory carefully, and then submit your own, including everything they have missed off, no matter how trivial you may think it is.

And wear...feckin...sunscreen.

Good Luck

The landlord might tell you it isn't and then tell you to fukk off

I have a spare room if you want to stay. £20 a week and you can trust me.

Unfortunately its only a single bed though, so your bird will have to bunk with me :lol:

I aint got a farm, too much like hard work for me

from what hazzman said your a very hard worker
 
Serious....Try Martin and Co. They were very good to me and my wench, we rented of Anstey Lane. No problems.

I would always advise going through an agent rather than direct with a landlord, they provide a muc needed level or security, both financial, and also as landlords have to make sure the gas/elec etc is upto spec.
