How to find private landlords?

In greater Manchester? Have looked on right move, in the papers, and in shop windows. I cannot use most estate agents as they do credit checks or don't accept dss.

I have also looked on gumtree and preloved. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    local paper.
    even try putting a wanted advert in.
  • I have tried both, but thank you for replying. They seem so hard to find these days. My local paper came today too and not a single one suitable!

  • try gumtree as well, local shop windows, local paper - probably just need to keep checking

    Also ask around friends/family that also rent in the same area and ask for landlord recommendations.
  • I have enquired about one, but been cheeky and asked if the landlord may be willing to lower the rent to the same as most in that area. So shall see if they get back to me :) I have a guarantor and deposit, so aslong as they don't do credit checks I am fine.
