As for letting agencies, I use Rent The House in accy next to argos. If you are on the dole then you are all right, but god help you if you are working and want something half decent, the minimum is about £400 a month!!!

i noticed they snapped up a few properties where rists used to be yet at prices like 150 p/w who can afford that unless the dhss pay it . I d find it annoying to have paid for one them properties though then to find a bunch of youths renting the house next door . On a few occasions ive passed there to see a few lads hanging out a window with the music blasting out .
Im not sure which letting company it is but they have a few places up sandy lane and usually in the region of 60 - 70 per week will try and find out later the name
