  • Hi sorry I haven't read the whole thread but I have some contact details that will be of interest if you haven't yet gone down routes already:

    Shelter.org.uk- Shelter provides a fantastic free,online support,help,links for housing options or they have a national telephone advice line
    Ring 0808 800 4444 staffed by trained housing advisers

    Directgov.org - If you cannot afford an initial deposit, you may be eligible for a deposit guarantee scheme. Under this scheme, your local council will send a guarantee to your landlord for the deposit. You should contact your local council for more information.

    Websites with rental listings from landlords more likely to accept tenants from any criteria are:


    craigslist
    [EMAIL="homes.trovit@co.uk"]homes.trovitco.uk[/EMAIL]
    vivastreet.co.uk

    I am able to help with much more but don't want to add pressure with to much information, so please don't delay in contacting me if you need any further help/advice, we all need someone to point us in right direction throughout times of need
    Good luck

    Oh I do yes, I get very stressed over little things. But not over big things. But I don't want to lose my job and if I cant find nowhere to rent how will I beable to work there :(

    As you've only just started your job you can't guarantee you'll still be in it when they move, so you might be worrying about nothing ;)

  • Hi just wanted to house sharing isn't all bad, it how most twenty something's in london live! Depending on what kind of house share you go into you can have the same rights as renting the entire place lots of agents in London let rooms individually no owner occupier or one tenant that hold the lease and another who is just a lodger. I'm sure ther are similar things around the rest of the uk.

    Don't sound too bad an idea. It saves having to buy furniture.

    I suppose with them being different subjects it makes it better than putting them all in one
