Hi just posted another topic but thought I keep this separate.
Anyone had experience of moving to a completely new area and privately rented? Did you manage to do it without having to find a huge sum of money first?
At the moment I am thinking I will need 6 months rental upfront plus deposit as my credit rating isn’t great, which I definitely haven’t got at the moment, and I am on a low income and in debt (which will change soon but not enough evidence/quick enough for the reference checks).
I imagine the housing list is a long one and priority will be with locals.
I want to move in the summer ideally but feel like a lottery win is the only way to escape! And moving locally will be a similar costly expense, I rather move straight to the location I want to.
