finding a flat in manchester

[saratink]

Yep, cause that is where the hip people move to!!!

[minute5072]

[saratink]

I think it's quite exciting! !

Be nice to live walking distance to lots of places

[Paul ™]

I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy...

I can do that here although it's more like walk to the coop, the spar, the green grocers, the chippy, the paper shop, the butchers, the bank that's only open 9-12 each day.

Whilst there it's walk to asda, boots, body shop, new look, wilkos, greggs, mcdonalds, cinema, pool? Gym, morrisons, sainsburies, chippy, ice cream place, aldi Etc!!

well we viewed three today,

we're not gonna move till march/april but we thought seeing a few would help us decide what we're really looking for...

they were all 575 and tiny, which i didn't like

BUT

the guy was really nice and gave us a few tips on areas to look for that suited what we want (a walk away from town centre, a lot of room, under 575)

we then went to 5 agents (all next door, how hand) and found quite a few that suited what we want

going for a viewing of one place that is 550 and has two double bedrooms and i can see my work from it

[Paul ™]

Dan, sometimes it is worth just walking about that area and seeing whats available and then enquiring about it.

When I started a new job a few years back on the south side of Glasgow, I looked about for a decent flat for ages to rent in the paper/letting agents etc.

Walking down the road my new work was on I saw a sign in a flat window to rent. Private let, no agents etc and I could see my work from the window too and was 50 yrds from the entrance

Stayed there for nearly 2 years before moving in with rollergirl 4 years ago.

zoopla is shit, it doesnt listen to the criteria for searching and keeps giving me 7 bedroom house shares in my results

so apart from rightmove, does anyone know any decent websites to look on?!

[rachbon]

primelocation is quite good.

[nightcrawler13]

wooop!

we've found a two double bedroom little cottagey style house next to platt fields park, just after the curry mile so only a minute extra from my house )

now begins the process of moving house.... (i have a lot of stuff, this is scary)

anyone in the manchester area have any cardboard boxes??

[saratink]

nightcrawler why dont you go to some of the local shops and ask have they got any cardboard boxes spare?

[nightcrawler13]

WOOOooooooOoOOoOOOOO00000!!!

i now live in a lovely two up two down little house right next to Platt Fields park

we have a Marffice (Music / Art / Office), bedroom, bathroom, lounge, kitchen and playroom

slightly more then i wanted to pay, but 10x nicer than anything else we've seen

if anyone is looking for somewhere to live in manchester, i'm trying to find someone to fill my room in my old house. I lived there for 3 years and the room is a double double bedroom, which is awesome.

you could have tidied your room for the pic

[nightcrawler13]

Agreed. I wouldn't want to even enquire about a place that looks such a tip.

[TheGayTent]

Needs a f**king good clean!

[rachbon]

jeeso. your room is a state. people would get a better idea of what the room looks like if you bothered to spend half an hour tidying it and taking a few pictures from different angles.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

If anyone is interested I have a room going in Manchester. £60 a week all inclusive (with food).

No pets or smokers, or gays, or people called Simione, Tarquin, Nigel or Rupert.

Must have own toothbrush.

(serious about the room though )

[saratink]

well clearly if you have the inability to realise my stuff will not be in the room when you move in, we wouldnt want you in the house anyway
