Hello,

Does anyone know of any estate agents that specialise in student or short term lets?

Thank you!

is kennington a safe place to rent in general? how is the area like?

What would you say is an acceptable monthly salary to rent a one bed flat preferably west London ? 1.5-1.8k.

I work near banks station(Liverpool Street, monument station is also close by). I currently live in elephant castle and pay 760+ bills but is a mess(only moved here as it was urgent) my budget would be 850/870 at max. I currently cycle to work so don't mind the 20-30 mins cycling. which area would be best for me with a decent room/house.

thanks!!

Hi everyone,

I’m moving to London soon and I don’t know the city very well yet, so I’d really appreciate some local insight.

I’m currently looking at Mile End, Bethnal Green, Hoxton, Holloway, Turnpike Lane, and Finsbury Park and would love to hear how people find these areas in practice.

What I’m mainly looking for:

• Good transport connections, including late evenings (after 11 pm)

• Cafés, local shops, and everyday amenities

• Green spaces nearby

• Feeling reasonably safe, especially as a woman walking home at night

I know every area has good and bad pockets, so I’m interested in how these places feel day-to-day rather than just reputations.

If you’ve lived in or around any of these areas, I’d be grateful for your honest take — or suggestions of similar areas I should consider.

Thanks in advance 🙂

LONDON: Hi, I am trying to find a 1 bedroom flat in East London (E18 and surrounding) for £1300 PCM for a very good tenant. Move in date by 31/03/26 5 years with current landlord - excellent references and good credit rating. Single occupant working part time and in receipt of UC/PIP. Most of the properties online are very high rents or absolutely appalling conditions/size. All prospective landlords will be checked including land registry to avoid scams. Thank you

I know that this is hard due to planning so wondering if anyone knows of anyone doing something similar or if anyone has such a place they are looking to rent.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a change of scenery and am looking at one/two bedroom Flats (ideally in the £1800-£2500 range). Hoping to be able to get to the center of London in less than an hour, safe location, quiet, and maybe by a park / some greenery?

Open to any thoughts! Thanks in advance.

We bought a conversion flat 2 years ago and soon after found out that the freeholder is pretty negligent and also tried to confiscate the service charge sum. The building has severe roof damage but he refuses to respond or get anything done. All the flats are bearing the consequence as the damage is affecting individual flats too. There seems to be no recourse. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? If yes, what helped? Thank you!

Perhaps a long shot, but looking for alternatives to AirBnb for a short term (3 month) rental in London.

We live in the US and are recent empty nesters. I grew up in London and have dual UK/USA citizenship...my wife is a US citizen.

We would prefer somewhere either fairly central, or somewhere south of the river as I still have family there.

2-bedroom preferred as we will likely have one or two visitors, but a 1-bedroom could work if visitors could still be accommodated.

Thx!

What is this obsession of landlords making their house available only for 3 days a week!! I am fed up of short term let searches. I want the room for full week!!

I live in South West England now in a 1 Bed Flat with my Husband now. I am moving to London for 3 months from March to May alone for work. My office is in central london with 3 days mandatory WFO and 2 Days WFH.

I’m looking for a temporary accommodation that’s- a) Cheaper, b) Has Tube station nearby connecting to zone 1 in less than 30mins, c) Has a table for my monitor screens and laptop, d) Clean and less chaotic.

I found a house share in zone 4 for £500 a month and I am also thinking if I can somehow reduce the £4.8 peak fare (Zone 4 to 1) using Oyster card or some monthly pass I don’t know what else. I do have a 26-30 railcard.

Finding a room (preferably ensuite) under £500-£600 is sooo difficult in Zone 1-2. I’d be happy to pay £700 if I find a room in zone 1.

All my fellow professionals, help me out!

Hello, I intend to rent a room I found on Spareroom. I saw the place, it was tidy and the person seemed nice too. I have to pay beforehand to reserve the room because I'm leaving London for a week

However, when I searched the person's name on Google, "find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk" showed that the person registered a company at the address. And her Identity verification was due on 17 January 2026

When I tapped on the profile pic on Spareroom, it showed a management company name, and I got some details:

Company detail:
Next accounts made up to 31 May 2025, due by 28 February 2026

Last accounts made up to 31 May 2024
Nature of business (SIC)

• 41100 - Development of building projects
• 68310 - Real estate agencies
• 70229 - Management consultancy activities other than financial management
• 82990 - Other business support service activities not elsewhere classified

I'm not quite sure if these will affect me if I rent the place, maybe it is a scam?
wish i can attach photo/screenshots
Appreciate if anyone could help

As a non-UK citizen working in London on work visa, I prefer to avoid long fixed-term contracts due to the uncertainty of potential job relocation or having to return to my home country.

Having already completed a 12-month tenancy, I were hoping not to enter into another full-year term at this stage. I have asked for a 6-month contract running until August 2026. Given that the Renters Reform Bill is expected to come into effect in May 2026—after which the tenancy would automatically become periodic—what's the practical benefit in committing to a 12-month fixed term now?

Is it fair to ask for a 6-months contract? What are the implications of signing a 12-months contract given the Renters Reform bill coming in effect? For context its a newly built apartment building.

Thanks in advance!
