Sold house, nowhere to go...monthly rental?

Batchy

If you dont ask you dont get... 6 months the norm, but im sure a desperate landlord would take anything at the moment especially if there was potential for additional months!!

I am a LL & was going to do a 3mth AST recently but the deal fell through (potential T lost his buyer). It actually worked q well for all as I had refurb works planned & the 3 month let slotted in q well.

Anyway, it didn't work out but don't give up, if you don't ask you don't get.

Thanks for all of the replies. Interesting to know that others are in a similar situation.

As for where I am, I'm not that far from Blackpool, so there may well be some options to be explored.

One other query though - what should I do regarding change of address? I know the Royal Mail can forward post on, but should I be changing all the normal addresses such as driving licence etc?

I suppose the answer is to change them, but I'd be changing them twice in a short space of time.

Unfortuneately you are correct. You must change them. It is illegal to have an incorrect address on your driving licence though I think this is rarely enforced.

However your car registration document needs to have the correct address on as otherwise any speeding fines etc could go to your old address and you'd never know and end up in court! The DVLA must be informed and the updates made even if you move frequently in a short space of time!

Make sure you also change your banking and credit card addresses etc and don't rely on the Royal Mail forwarding service as occassionally things slip through the net and you wouldn't want your credit card bill landing on the mat of someone elses house!
