All the best ! You'll have Togo for a short term rental furnished first, you then can look for an unfurnished this helps as you have an address for the rental agent and get a reference from the hol let landlord this helps , Scarborough is expensive for houses Mai ly apartments and they are predominately older houses , everybody travels here it's better to evaluate your situation when you are here and you can look around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have looked at all the rental sites and majority of the areas and are aware of the problems moving from the UK into a rental are, my post is just on the off chance of finding something from a source off this website.....I appreciate your comments and it may end up being just like that.......

deanhewitt Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 We have just been around the estate agents to discuss renting and the process etc. The 4 agents we spoke to all said that the rental market in October to end November is always the busiest for some reason. they also advised us that they generally only do open days and not private viewings. They all reckon it can take about 4 weeks to get a rental if you see one you like and we were advised to keep looking on their websites and register ourselves on any open viewings, they all gave us application forms to fill in but they cannot accept them until we are in the country. With regards to ID etc ideally you should have before you leave the UK, references from previous landlords or mortgage statement, AUZ bank account, letter from your new employer in Auz, passport and driving licence. They did say that without a letter from an employer in Auz that some landlords will not rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
