What documents you need to show varies depending on the length of your stay and who you’re renting from (private landlords or agency). Many landlords require to see your bank statement and at least one reference. The landlord we rented from just wanted a bank statement and a copy of my passport.

So make sure to bring both proof of income and references. And a copy of your passport if you’re from outside the UK.

I will be in London shortly and need to find a flat for me and my girlfriend. I just wanted to know what documents to you need to show to get approved for a flat? Proof of income? References?

Thanks!

But even though Bayswater is a great area to live in I must say I’m also considering somewhere near Battery Park, Regent’s Park or Hampstead Heath, which I love.

I double what you said about living in Bayswater — it is one of my favorite (relatively) affordable areas of London to find digs.

I’m glad you enjoyed them! As for wall to wall carpets, first of all I don’t think they look that good as opposed to wooden floors, which I LOVE.
And when I do yoga at home I prefer to do it on the bare floor instead of on a carpet. They also seem a bit unhygienic and harder to clean. And, like you said, they’re not optimal for drinking parties

I loved reading your two posts on ‘Moving to London’ theme! Although I don’t anticipate moving to London ever, its safe to never say never, hehe! You sure know a lot of stuff and I like the systematic approach to job hunting. Oh I can’t help but ask you this: why don’t you like wall to wall carpets? I dislike them too for many reasons, the most important being that the place looks fake and one can’t have drinking parties at home, lol

cheers,
Priyank.
