| You can normally always negotiate to pay in 3 or 4 cheques over the year, I don't know anyone who would pay for a whole year up front, it's totally unrealistic. Avoid letting agencies if you can, tnhey totally rip you off with commission, best bet is to contact landlords directly. Buying is still a bit of an unknown here and if you have no savings getting a mortgage will be a nightmare as you normally have to fork out a massive percentage up front. Much of the time it's better to actually be in the country to find a job. |
