Short term let required...

[buggie]

We've got building work starting at end of Aug & are looking for a short term/6m let

to enable our builders to crack on & (hopefully) enable us to keep a bit of sanity/some degree of a

normal life!

Have posted in the residential section, but not any luck yet & wondered if I'd catch a different crowd here. Looking for 2 bedrooms, furnished/semi furnished ideally & our max budget is around ?1450 a month.

Any advice on where to look welcome from those who've done this before - beginning to feel a bit stressed that we won't find anything 😣

Hi

Just done this ourselves. You will have to find a flat down the usual route - normally a standard AST agreement which allows you to give notice after month 6. So normally need to stay 8 months in total

Hello

I've just posted an ad about a short term let of a 2 bed garden flat in Streatham. Available for August and September only though and unfurnished apart from sofa bed. ?1,250 pcm. Let me know if you are interested although it sounds like timing might be out for you.

Just thought I'd mention it as it sounds like you are starting to get a bit desperate!

There's an ad in the Pretty's cafe window on North Cross Rd about the flat upstairs. No idea what it's like but could be worth a look?

Bit of a sweeping statement no? Plenty of ads on here for short term lets and that's before you even look at Gumtree or AirBnB. To say "you will have to" may have been true in your experience but there are other routes.

Will look at Pretty's window, and so far Montassa it seems we are viewing stuff that LL's/agents are ok to offer 6m contracts on but dependent on what other offers they get.

KathrynA - thanks for heads up but dates & location wrong (got childcare/sch in Nunhead so want to stay bit nearer x)
