I received 10 offers in a week, only to discover the common problem with renting in the UK.
💎1. Even if your offer is accepted, if you don't pay the deposit, the landlord may give the property to someone else.
💎2. There are cases where you have paid the deposit but haven't signed the contract, and the landlord rents it to someone else, then they have to refund your deposit. But wait, what about my time?
💎3. Around August, there may be bidding situations, almost like an auction.
💎4. Visiting the property in person, even with a scheduled appointment, may still require waiting for a long time.
💎5. Social apartments have larger spaces, and it's more comfortable to live with friends, but you need to search carefully.
💎6. Social apartments are not as easy to find as student apartments.
💎7. For student apartments, as long as you apply and there is availability, you can quickly receive an offer!
