    OP I have edited this one but in future please use proper thread titles that actually refer to your query. Thanks

    Other posters please remember this is not the After Hours forum and that the A&P charter applies.

    I would advise having at least work references ready and maybe even a letter from your parent (assuming you currently live with them) stating that you are paying them some kind of rent on a monthly basis.

    It is tough to find a place to rent at the moment, and when you go to open viewings its depressing to see your competition on the day. I couldn't find a place to rent at all last December/January, so I decided to apply for a mortgage and buy (luckily I was in a position to). Me and my friend both had work and previous rent references and we just couldn't get a place.

    It was very tough.
