• Our sweet, sweet deal of renting a lovely house from a family member for relatively little money is sadly coming to an end. Any general tips for finding somewhere to rent? Any sites to check out other than Zoopla and Rightmove? Any estate agents to seek out/ avoid? We've been in the same place since we moved to London from Leeds so have no experience at all!

  • In my experience OpenRent is good. Often you end up renting direct from the landlord with no agencies involved so it's more personal, which results in fewer issues. For us (not the above post btw) this has meant that the landlords don't own other properties and aren't doing it 'as a business', so are more inclined to look at things in a more reasonable manner than someone who only cares about the bottom line and is paying a terrible managing agent to deal with issues on their behalf.
