Help finding a privately rented property
Help and advice in finding privately rented accommodation
If you're looking for a home, private renting is often the quickest way to find housing and offers a great deal of choice.
You might need to:
- pay a deposit
- pass a tenancy reference
- pay rent in advance
Properties come as unfurnished or furnished, and may or may not have white goods such as washing machines. You'll need to check these details when considering a property.
Property websites
- Rightmove is a helpful property website for renting or buying.
- Zoopla has houses and flats for sale and rent, and you can find estate agents in your area.
