Living in London is hard. Finding a house to live in in London, is even harder.
At the end of last year, I decided that it was time to leave my current house and move in with my sister and one of our friends. I’m not leaving because of any bad blood with my housemates, more that its time for a change. I have been through the process of looking for a house to rent before, and it is tough… like, unbelievably tough!
Scrolling through houses upon houses and flats upon flats only to find one and the estate agent tells you its gone is boring. And time consuming. We all have full time jobs and honestly, it feels like house hunting is another one.
The other problem with looking to rent in London is the landlord / agents complete lack of honesty it seems. The photos always look lovely and everything but you arrive and the house looks like a bomb site. We have seen a couple so far and the 3rd room has always been tiny, and the places have generally been quite horrible.
Photos are fine but what I really want to see is a floor plan, that way at least you know if one room is going to be the size of Harry Potter’s!
Anyway, we have 6 viewings lined up this week and I am really really hoping one will work.
Will keep you posted…
