| Comment | Bit of a combo of cop26/fast moving market/uni students: my friend who moved here a month ago had a heck of a time finding a flat, even the non-student areas things were going super quick so whenver she'd put in an offer it'd already gone. When I moved across the city in June we had to make our rental offer/contract agreement the same day as our viewing as there were three other viewings for it that day and the agency for the other flat we were interested in wasn't replying.
It may be easier once you're here as you'll be able to take a look in person. Just be prepared to be like, "yes I'll have this" on the same day. Places are going fast.
From a thing I'd read apparently people have been holding back rental properties just to increase the prices and put on Airbnb for cop26. Idk how true this is but given they do it in Edinburgh for the fringe, it wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully you'll have more luck when cop26 is over. But be prepared to act quick. |
