Hi, My husband and I are relocating to London for 2 years. We are looking to rent a flat after a month of moving there. In order to rent a flat, are we able to show bank statements to show proof of savings until we find employment? We have not yet secured employment however are able to show proof of savings.
If any one has moved to the UK and found jobs and places to rent this way appreciate any advice, suggestions etc.
Thanks

Hi N,
So this would probably depend on the landlord, but it might be worth approaching someone close, such as a family member, to see if they can act as a guarantor to ensure that you will be able to pay rent.
Otherwise, you might have to pay a huge sum of rent in advance in order to guarantee your lease. House shares are another option, as the terms may be more lenient.

I like to travel, so this post will be very helpful for me, thanks. You can look some flat on different services, like booking. I often go somewhere and often have some questions like this. Also, in every city, I search for some interesting concert or show. And I found one in Las Vegas. This is the Cirque Du Soleil Show Zumanity, which gives me unforgettable emotions and impressions.
