| Comment | Have you tried Happy Lets? Or Western Lettings? What Uni are you going to? My daughter managed to get a flat i Partick with Harvey Lets, but we had to really push for it. She went armed with a recommendation letter from her old high school minister 😂. And me and her dad wrote to them as well. It’s literally a full-time job trying to get a flat just now. If you’re going to look on Gumtree, make sure the person who wants to let has a landlord registration number. You could also phone round all the student villages (Student Roost etc) to see if they have any cancellations. It’s tough out there just now, as there is a shortage of student accommodation. Don’t bother with Clyde Property or FineHolm Letting, they never let to students. GPL is also worth trying.
Edit: literally be ready to beg. And sell yourself as a reliable tenant - they want to know you’re going to look after their property and not wreck it. And most of all, you’ll need a guarantor’s details handy. Good luck. |
