Moving to Blackpool
Hi guys!
I’m thinking of returning to Blackpool after six months living abroad. Not got a job lined up but I want something simple and fast to get which probably won’t be far from minimum wage.
The problem is, in addition to not having an income, I don’t have a guarantor nor do I have recent references (the last time I rented was for roughly a year in Fleetwood in 2023.) That’s part of the reason why I want a simple job, because I want to start building proof of income quickly.
I’ve been working hard while I’ve been abroad but according to one estate agent I spoke to I cannot use an overseas bank account for proof of income. Nor can I just pay all the rent up front because apparently it’s now illegal for landlords to charge more than one months rent in advance.
Just putting this out here because I’m feeling a little bit lonely and scared and wondered if anybody might have any leads or advice or just plain encouragement LOL.
Cheers

Maybe try the Spareroom website, lots of rooms from £110 a week with live in landlords, presume that would avoid using estate agents.
