#Renting Guide - How to find a place to rent Guiding you through the renting processStep 2 - How to find a place to rentWhat type of property should I look for?First of all, think carefully about the type of property you d like to rent and which best suits your lifestyle. For example, if you are only there during the week, a small place might do just fine. If security is important, then a ground floor flat may be out. If you have a car, then a parking space is a must. Do you want furnished or unfurnished accommodation or would something that s just part-furnished be okay? Often it doesn t make much difference to the rent. If it s furnished and you are sharing with others, do you trust them to look after the furniture - because you may lose some or all of your deposit to pay for damage even if they are responsible for it? Other key questions to ask yourself:
Where should I look?It can be difficult to find good property to rent. Sifting through adverts in newspapers is hard work and the time from print to publication often means that by the time you see the ad, the property has long since been rented to someone else. If you are prepared to share, you may be lucky and know someone who is looking for a flatmate. If your workplace has an intranet site, find out if it has a section that lists properties for rent. Many universities and colleges have an accommodation office, so if you are a student, find out what yours has to offer. You could even qualify for a council or Housing Association property if you have sufficient points, are on the waiting list or have a specific need.
