I would start checking out lettings agents now,ask around friends /work colleagues if they can recommend or not recommend particular agents.
Also check out the areas you are interested in,get an idea of current rents.
Look in your local paper/gumtree as well.
Homes for August will start to be advertised late June / July.

We usually ‘prelimlinary annouce’ properties about a month before they are available - check websites like propertyfinder and rightmove and then ring and make appointments to view. Start saving - you will need one months rent + deposit (usually a month + roughly 200) the fee for referencing (65 approx each) and the fee for the agreement to be drawn up (175 approx)
