FallenAngel6 Â Â 10 #1 Posted February 1, 2011 I feel like screaming and crying and pulling my hair out at the moment. Â Plain and simple fact is we CANNOT afford the ridiculous costs of an estate agent to risk being let down AGAIN...we were supposed to be moving into a new home next week and its due to an agent we aren't. We as a genuine hard working family want to deal with a landlord/lady direct so that they can know us better. Â The issue i have is i have been trailing all over the internet to find somewhere for my family and EVERYTHING is through an agency...there are over 200 properties through agencies and about 5 through private. Â Has it really come to this ... i'm betting its the downright idiotic tenants that have no respect for house of owner that give us good tenants a bad name. Â Please if anyone can direct me towards some good websites that i can deal with private landlords with directly, please reply.

Ms Macbeth   73 #4 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Have you tried contacting any housing associations? http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/in-your-area/housing-services/homelessandhousingoptions/looking-for-a-home-or-needing-to-move/housing-association-accommodation Just wondered if private rental is your only option.  Have you spoken to anyone at the council about your situation? It might be worth a try. Edited February 1, 2011 by Ms Macbeth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
FallenAngel6 Â Â 10 #5 Posted February 1, 2011 We have been told its roughly up of 3 months waiting on priority and then if you don't take the first house you're offered you lose priority. We havent really got 3 months in this property and i really cant take my mother in law and daughter into temporary accomodation, it would be way to much stress for them both. Â Will give it a try anyway things may have changed but as far as i know the housing situation has only got worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
