Anyone know of a privately-let house in Stafford?

A few posts under my belt
Hi, thought I'd post here on the off-chance that someone has seen a notice up in a window or something :)

I'm looking for a 2-3 bedroom house to rent, preferably with a rear garden and close to town, although I would consider anywhere in Stafford.

I haven't got refs or a guarantor (no family) and also have two children, but am in employment, reliable, can guarantee the house will be looked after as if it is my own and the rent paid in full and on time.

I don't smoke or have any pets and am willing to pay a deposit, plus 3 months rent in advance.

If anyone knows or hears of anything please get in touch, as I really need to get somewhere of my own asap.

Thanks :)

When we were looking we found clothier and day estate agents the most helpful for finding rental property - they dont do a credit check, charge the cheapest fee and judge everyone on their own merit instead of expecting you to be in a job earning a fortune!

Where are they based? Might pop in - I might have a chance...

1 Eastgate Street. I think they're in the refurbished ex-furniture shop on the corner of Malt Mill Lane, next to the new Spar....

They are almost opposite the Gatehouse theatre.

Cough cough! I think you might find our tenant fees rather competitive!
Thought sadly we don't have any properties available at the moment. If anything fitting your requirements comes up I'll let you know!

Rightmove is the best place to try, even if you don't want to go through an agent (though I always suggest going through an agent wherever possible even if the agent just finds the tenant for the landlord) some agents do an advertising only service so private landlords can advertise on rightmove. They usually have a note somewhere on the ad telling you to phone a different person or number to contact them directly.

Good luck in your search and like I said, if anything comes up I'll let you (both) know. I haven't forgotten you Lunar!

Okay, but I don't earn much and could be "DSS" again in about 3 months... However, I am a non-smoker with no children or pets.

Just a bump to this post... Alasia is urgently looking for another house again. She really wants a place ASAP, and still doesn't have a guarantor. If anybody knows of anywhere or anyone who wouldn't mind being a guarantor, please let either of us know. Thanks!

I've just spoken to my friend who owns this house and he'd be happy to let his place on these terms. I'll send you a PM with his details. The people who went to see it didn't go for it as their furniture wouldn't fit.

Alasia is most happy and is going to view the house today! Cheers! If she moves in she'll probably owe us both a :pint:;)
