Hi everyone - Belfast gal moving to Glasgow

Postby katiekat » Sun Jan 04, 2004 10:14 pm

Hi everyone - need some help. I'm moving to Glasgow in September to study music at the Scottish Academy, and my boyfriend is coming with me.

I am a little bit terrified about the move and because my b/f isn't a student, I can't just go into the usual student accomodation. We are looking for either a single-bedroom flat to rent, or to rent a double-room in a shared house. I am worried about ending up being charged the earth (though i have heard it ain't too expensive in Glasgow) or getting a dodgy landlord. :?

My b/f will also need to get a new job - he is a computer operator at the minute and so is looking an IT job with a salary circa £10000-£12000p/yr or to enter into an IT-related apprenticeship.

Please if you have any advice you can offer us reply on this topic or pm me. Thanks, katie :)

if you want something thats not to expensive then your best bet is not to look in the west end, try looking a bit further out or even on the south side.

Maybe a wee look here http://www.s1homes.com/rental/ will give you a better idea about flat rental.

From that site it looks like 1 bed flats start at around £300, you can search for rooms too.
Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Having lived North, South East and West, I'd recommend the South Side as having the best balance of value-for-money, travel convenience and safety. Well... parts of it!

Govanhill is about 10 minutes from the City Centre, and is well served by buses ( About 12 different numbers go along the 3 main roads through the area. At least 2 of these are night buses, running hourly all night every night. )
It's a nice enough area, not THAT many neds ( More Asians than anything else - so plenty of 24-hour shops and good food;) )

The last 2 2-bedroom ( With a living room as well, rather than instead of! ) flats I was in in the area were around the £400 PCM mark, + council tax.

I recommend Merchant Executive Properties as a particularly fair and easy-to-deal with letting agency. I'd seriously avoid private landlords where possible.
