HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

Hi there everyone,

I have a friend who is looking to move into the area and they've been asking if I know of any private landlords in the area, they're looking for a three bedroom property. Having never rented a property, I haven't the first idea!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me of any landlords and if possible recommend anyone?

Cheers in advance

The Observer and Telegraph could be a starting piont

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

a good site -
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent
most agents add their properties to it

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

Thanks for the suggestions guys but we have already explored these routes. Right move is a good site for finding a property but by the time you have paid fees, a months rent in advance and commission you're looking at having to find over £1000 before even being able to move into a house offered by them. Unfortunately my frind does not have that kind of money ling around.

Thanks for the help though.

Have you tried Sterling Properties, Bury? They say on their site that they do a no deposit scheme. No idea how they define "No Deposit" though. Good luck

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

Unless they have dramatically improved the way their properties are maintained I would avoid Sterling at all costs. Seen a few of their properties and they left a lot to be desired to say the least:(

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

The only sure way to get a decent property without any deposit is to use b-with-us
PennineLancashire - Home

Unfortunately your friend is likely in for a long wait, unless in dire need

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

My friend is registered with B-with-us and is on their waiting list but has been told there is a long wait. Thanks for your help anyway

Have a word with Lindsay, Sparkie. She has a very good landlord, and may be able to advise you.

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

Is your friend Vietnamese by any chance? If so, there's a suitable property going up Royds Avenue.

P.S. ..he may have to put a few bob in the electric meter before he can switch on t'lights.

i live in a sterling properties house it is rubish and so are they we have no heating no dobble glazing and we had to pay a big deposit also if you need a repair doing out of hours they dont have an out of hours service i would never live in a sterling house again and would not advise it they are lame...

Re: HELP! Private landlords accrington
 

double glazing would be a side issue but when you signed their landlords contract was there not a certificate for the central heating etc stating that its been checked recentley and all in order?
if there is not central heating then is it not illegal to rent a property out that doesnt have heating?

this might be of use to you..

They only have to provide a fire, electric or gas usually, in the living room, they are not obligated to provide anything more, sterling have a lot of property, a lot of it is bare minimum standard or below, and that is why the owner is a very wealthy man.
