I was looking at agents like Foxtons etc, but their prices are really high.

Is there a way to find a cheaper flat for rent in London, for example newspaper ads?

What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance.
Is real estate agents the ONLY way to find a flat in London?

Rent Back Fast

Me and my girlfriend are looking to rent a flat, we viewed one on saturday and we are looking to accept, the estate agent said about getting references from the bank and my employer, i know that the one with my employer will be good, but my credit rating is poor, whereas my girlfriends is good but is currently paying a loan off and a store card. What is the process of a bank statement?

Passive Income

I need to get a 2 bedroom flat to rent. I am pregnant with my first baby so need to find somewhere soon. The problem is I am looking to rent, but I have a CCJ and very bad credit history. Is this going to effect me when getting a flat. I know i am entitled to housing benefit for the full amount of the rent. So the landlord will get his money guaranteed. But I will have to go through a agency first and I know they will credit check me?

I am going to live in Australia and at the moment I have no idea how long for…. possibly forever.
I have kept a property in the UK and want to give my dad power of attorney so that he can sort out anything to do with this property or maybe sell it for me in the future.

Thank you for all ppl’s good advice
@ the problem is that the neighbor own two adjacent houses so they renovate the 2 houses backyards floor into flat cement to play basketball, @ and they took down the 2nd fence between their house and my house, and the neighbor want to build a fancy costly fence (about $1000), so they ask my family to share the cost, but i denied it, since it is their fault to take down the fence while doing the renovation, few months pass, it seems that they have no interest of putting back the fence, since that way they have more space for their basketball court and more convenient for them to chat/play with the next neighbor.
@so i pay 100 or 200$ to buy some 4ft chain fence (originally it is the same chain fence) and rebuild it between their yard and my yard , will they have any excuse to stop me? (i will build inside my yard property)
@will i get in any troubles?@ and who own the fence if i do so?
-_-it is just too annoying for them to use my yard as their own
well the original fence is chain link fence, and using other than chain link fence is kinda weird since the whole block is chain link fence. beside other neighbor use their backyard as dining room/living room, even shower room for the kids and it is fxxking annoying, chatting on the morning begins at 7:40am everyday, and do all kind of things, make you wonder, they rent out 2nd floor and about 20ppls live on 1 floor along with basement, no wonder they use backyard like that. just a side story of how my neighbor are, and i rather build the fence on my own, doubt the neighbor would want to share the cost, since they will no longer access my backyard freely. thank you for the fast response. ^_^
“whereas chain link might actually reduce your property’s value. ”
@ i doubt that using chain link fence will reduce the property value, since all the local area use the same chain link fence. and i live on the coast city, where the housing price are very high and high demand, it is about half million. so i am not worry about the fence will reduce the property value.
