    Can anyone in a similar situation give me a time line on how long it took you to get an apartment off the likes of a REIT or commerical letting.

    After a house sale I will have a couple of hundred grand in the bank, and will need to rent for 6 months, if I was offering 6 months upfront at 2500/3000 a month would it be still a lot of messing with viewings etc or would I simply be able to send over payslips bank statements and a large advance?

    Greatly appreciated trying to plan everything out.

    Your best bet is to find a letting agent in your preferred area, tell them your circumstances, and they (might) try and find something that matches your needs.

    Go to EAs and tell them you are looking to rent an apartment and your price range is 2500/3000. They will show you lots of apartments in that price range that are empty that REITs and the like have available.

    This is a different market than everyone trying to get apartments a cheap as possible. Your average renter would never even know about these places.

    My company was renting this kind of property for staff, but even they think they are too expensive so are now out of that market. My company have turned to emailing staff for rentals they might have empty or to put them in touch with friends who have property to rent. Easier and cheaper than renting off REITs. So far they have rented around 15 properties from staff and people staff have put them in touch with.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Offering 6 months up front can be problematic if the property burns down after 2 months. Sure, the landlord might have obligations to you, but they might not be able to comply with those obligations.

    Be careful of letting people know you have "a couple of hundred grand in the bank".
