Title: Need a place to live!
Post by: BorntoBubble on April 25, 2012, 03:29:27 AM
Moving to Nottingham sometime towards the end of June i have a years placement starting on the 2nd July at Experian that has the possibility of going on for just over a year mabye until September 2013. I need a flat to rent and need some advice!

I'm looking for a flat/house/studio 1 bed place not in a shared house! It needs to be not much further then 15 minutes drive from experian which is like across the dual carriage way from DTD. Any advice on where to live? Good letting agents/landlords etc?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Anywhere in the city centre works and is where the vast majority of that type of property in Nottingham is.

I actually through a similar process about 6 months looking for exactly that kind of property and went through rightmove which then link you to various estate agents. I actually ended up moving into a mates place so can't recommend any specific agent.

Places I was looking at were in the 500-600 pcm range. I must admit I was surprised it was that much, nits gonna nit.

Depending on what i end up finding i may take an option like this for a month or until i "find my feet" I have an offer like this already which is not to bad! Nice to know i wont be on the streets!

Thanks for the input!

I'd be tempted to look at Beeston if you don't want the city centre.

There are lots of deals with guys sub letting a room in their house. Mate of mine who is in London mon-fri just let out a room in his really smart house for £400 a month including all bills etc. it's a pretty good deal for his lodger IMO.
