Have you lived there before? If you're thinking of buying property in a town you really do get what you pay for, if it's cheap it may mean the area is not great, once you buy you're stuck there. Have a good think about it.

Having money saved up is always a huge help when moving, as far as landlord/agent emails it’s just a regular “I’m interested, can I arrange a viewing” type of thing. At the end of the day you’re the one giving them money so they’ll be ‘grafting’ too

A very important thing is to ALWAYS double check the pricing, so many ads say a certain price but when you actually go to the viewing they will drop all the other fees (basically a lot of them lie)

Ask for what you’d be paying in TOTAL to move in and also mention any agency/further fees, because like I said (can’t stress this enough) so many DON’T mention this on the ad which I think is very deceitful and definitely something you don’t need when travelling from a different city

I screwed myself over with this by not having the money saved

Ok take notice.

I've been through cleaned and handed out infraction due to the last few pages, if you got banned, good! learn from it or it will be longer next time, if you didnt then think yourself lucky you recieved the infraction earlier on in the thread because to be perfectly honest the comments posted towards other members further along the thread were actually sickening, this needs to stop.

And before anyone barges in with either she done this or he done that, save it! The pack mentality that's becoming more and more obvious in threads like this is completely unacceptable and it's always the same members showing up with the same revolting comments every time, and the selective reporting of it needs to stop too, dont bother reporting 'bullying' of members you see as friends when you are ignoring horrible comments on the same page from the same members

Why post a pointless comment that relates in no way at all to my post or anything that happened in the thread?

The fact is it's the same members on here that to put quite bluntly seriously need to grow the hell up, constant aimed comments, insults and arguing, thriving off of any drama at all, if someone online that you dont even know really gets to you that much then use the ignore feature and basically get over it.

Can’t beat a nice floor lamp

[Smithy]

I actually don’t even know what it comes with, it says fully furnished but does that just mean bed and sofa or like Kettle and Lamps? Just don’t know girls

I’ve been renting in Manchester and none of them so far have had kettles or microwaves Etc, and were advertised as fully furnished. It’s usually just the basics. Although one had a bedroom lamp, so it just depends on the flats I guess

In my experience it's meant beds and other large furnishings (sofa, bedroom furnishings etc.) and usually kitchen appliances like microwave/kettle but NOT standalone appliances in other rooms (like bedside lamps, TV etc.).

The only places I've rented furnished were private rentals aimed at groups of students, though.

The risk of course is that you either don't like the furnishings or they're poor quality/uncomfortable. The mattresses in my final student place were awful, for example. Whether or not you can replace them is usually down to whether or not the landlord can remove & store what's there... so "larger" professional landlords (if they're good ones) will often be able to do that so you could buy your own bed/sofa or whatever but smaller landlords (e.g. people who only rent out one property via an agent) probably won't be able to store furniture, so being able to use your own would depend on having storage space like a garage.

Does it not mention appliances?

No it just says internal fixtures, fittings and furniture may vary

[Liam-]

I’d assume that means it comes with everything, white goods and electrical appliances

[AnnieK]

I've only rented once years ago....it was fully furnished and literally had everything....pots, pans, cutlery, all kitchen stuff. Only thing I needed was bedding and towels etc. There was even a tv although I asked the landlord to remove that as I had a better one.

Think I’d rather have my own towels and bedding tbf

...did you see there is a tv series...Manctopia: Billion Pound Property Boom...starting in the next week or two on BBC2...if you want to meet your new city and some of your neighbours...

[user104658]

Also "unfurnished" does usually include white goods; cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine but not small appliances like microwave (unless they're built into a fitted kitchen).
