    Hi All

    As you all know, I've just returned back to the UK, family arrive on friday morning

    Cannot seen to get a rental through the rental agents due to me being out of the country for 2 years and they do not seem to have places available right now

    Looking for private rentals in and around the Newport pagnell/Broughton area

    Was hoping that the ever helpful grapes on here could offer some suggestions/ websites I could use.

    Estate agents want 10 days to clear paperwork etc even if they want to waive the 6 month headache... grr was only gone just under 2 years

                Have you tried the Z**pla website, Steve?

                We found our place by just driving round, but I think an internet search is the easiest way. Our agent got their fingers out, as wee needed to move in two weeks, and they managed it. Just. It does vary depending on your agent, and the independents, that aren't on Z**pla, Pr!me L*cat!*n or R!ght M*ve, tend to be the better and more efficient ones. In my experience.

                    Ring the local council and see if they have a list of approved landlords.

                    If you're going to be homeless then get registered with housing lists too.

                        I like Z... because you can choose your own area on the map. Saves trawling through all the properties. One of the others has a similar map-based site, too.

                        Happy hunting, RT.

                          You need to try the back pages of the local paper. Small (ie private) landlords don't use internet.

                            You tried R1ght M0ve, did you? At first glance they do seem to be letting agents (I rented for 20+ years and always did better with private than with agents, who RIP you off)

                              Have you tried offering 6 months rent up front, in advance? That often swings it
