I hope ive posted this in the right place, if i havent i hope someone can delete it for me! But bascially...
Im looking to move soon, atm i live in housing association housing but want to go private rented. In a differant area to where i am now. I have the money to move now but dont know how to find private landlords, other than local newspapers and letting agents is there any other way?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

Try looking in the window of local shops like newsagents?

i found my new property by placing an ad in the housing wanted section of Gumtree,
you can specify what your looking for and what your willing to pay, it's free to place an ad so you've got nothing to loose.
i had a lot of responses from private landlords and have found a lovely property and am moving very soon.

you could put a "property wanted" ad in the local newspaper

even better - go to the local council and ask them for a list of Accredited Landlords" who are folks whose property has been inspected by the council and who have to reach a certain standard
