House Sold ! .. nowhere to live !

Hi all.
Wonder if anyone has any advice please ? ... i've sold my home and after the failure of a very difficult relationship, have decided to relocate my job into another area. My children are stopping with my ex wife and my parents until such time that I have found my feet.
I have found an amazing house in an area that I know well but I cannot move in until the end of September. I need to be out of this house in the next two weeks :eek: but still be able to commute to work every day. All the estate agents that I've contacted will only accept a minimum of 6 months letting. The agents won't entertain even asking landlords if they would be prepared to accept a very professional male for a few months. I've asked at work if they have any housing available for me but nothing is available. And as much as I love my parents, I will not inflict my unsociable working hours upon them.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Many thanks Jim

Put your stuff in storage and look for a B&B?"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."

Caravan site? If you can guarantee you'll book for a certain number of weeks, they might give you a generous discount! Or buy yourself a cheap camper van and only pay the site fees, then flog it again when you're ready to move in - lots on ebay!0

thanks guys - have looked at most of the options already above. Have researched the local caravan site market, some of the caravans should be condemned ! and the area I live in is fairly residential with no real campsites around. Have looked into the B&B market but need to have my own cooking facilities (due to food intolerance). Also need to be able to accommodate my children overnight (so 2 bed place would be ideal) - I suppose it would have helped if I'd put the above in my original post !
Will try more websites suggested above - cheers guys :beer:0 -
I may be in same position as selling my property but can't find anything I want to even look at let alone buy, and I've been looking for over 6 months. I spoke to letting agents and yes they are all a minimum of 6 months or 1 year. I'll be doing the 6 months probably as b&bs etc are fine for a few days but the cost for longer will be huge.0

I'd opt for https://www.spareroom.com and then advance book at https://www.premierinn.com for family weekends.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.
