    I'd say it is probably fine. Are you renting alone or with someone else?

    (When my OH and I first rented he had been overdrawn a couple of times, I never had - we had no problems)

    Read this board!

    No seriously, take your time, do research on rightmove etc.

    Be aware the the letting agents work for the landlord, don't have to be qualified and will probably try to screw you over.

    Ask for advice on here when you're not sure.
