Accommodation
We will often be able to help you find accommodation, at least initially. If you stay in the UK, there is a wide variety of rented accommodation available. Most of this is privately owned, and you will deal directly with the landlord or a letting agency. Use the links below to access local information.
Gumtree.com is an online advertising directory for flat or house shares and rentals.
The Youth Hostel Association will provide low cost accommodation you can book before you arrive, until you get a more permanent residence organised.
Yellow Pages will give you access to agencies who deal with rental properties by searching on rental properties in the area you would like to live in.
Foxtons Corporate Services have provided us a flyer (to the right of the page). Foxtons have a lot of property available to rent in London and surrounding areas and will be happy to help you find a property
Alternatively when you arrive here, you can purchase the local newspaper, which usually has a section for rentals and flat shares. Typically you can find accommodation at rents between £55 - £120 per week dependent on whether it is a shared or single room. You will usually have to pay a month's rent in advance, plus a deposit of one month's rent. You will usually also have to pay the utility bills and the local council tax, which pays for local services.
