is glasgow a good place to live?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I might want to live there how much could i rent a city centre flat for?

Glasgow is a great place to live. We have fantastic shops, pubs, clubs and very friendly people too! There is so much to see and do here that you won’t be bored. A flat in the centre of the city would be very expensive. The West End is popular with students and quite expensive too. Have a good look around and you will find something within your budget. There are very frequent bus, train and underground services to get you wherever you want anyway. Hope you love Glasgow as much as I do if you choose to live here!

I am looking to rent short term so wouldnt want to pay a high rent at the same time would need somewhere decent. I amy possibly buy my own house/flat after a year, again what would be good places for this, close to scholls and citycentre with good tansport links

The West End is a lovely area but house prices and rent are more expensive there too. Dennistoun and Shawlands are also nice areas with good transport links etc.

Will the Credit check affect my application?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Im looking to rent a flat through an agent in Glasgow, they will carry out a credit check will this affect my application coz my rating aint brilliant?

Yes it will – they will check employment details, salary, bank details and previous landlords references as well as the electoral role and other things.

Ohhh and if you have a sniff of a CCJ in your backround, we would reject you.

Where is the best place to live in Glasgow?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

I have recently moved up to Glasgow and I am living in the West End. I am looking to move to a nice area where I can park my car safely and commute to work in the Pollcok Shaws area, are there any new flats or other developments that offer this kind of service for a reasonable ~ £400 rent?

I don’t know but it’s a great question. I mean it. Great stuff.

Short term lets in Glasgow?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I am looking to rent a flat or house in Glasgow for no more than 2 months, however, hotels and serviced apartments are too expensive. Do you know anyone that would do a short term let?

have a look on www.gumtree.com go to the glasgow page and the flats offered. they may not be advertised as short term lease but if the number of people who viewed the add is over 300 then the add has been on for a long time and they would take anything they can get

need some help regarding RENT and BILLS?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

im currently a student, who is planning to move into my own flat with my partner, he is not a student,the rent is £395 a month and the being a student i need to know every single shilling that will be wanted from me so i really dont have a clue what is meant by ”the bills and council tax are low’ – the flat is in glasgow almost city centre, anyone with examples of their own bill paymets would be GREAT!

Your landlord should be able to tell you how much the council tax will be monthly, as far as your electricity, gas , well that will depend on how much you use. You need to work that one out yourself. If it is a card meter then you should be able to judge what you use weekly, and same with the other. If your partner is employed then his wages will be taken into account if asking for a council tax rebate (as you are a student, you may be considered for one) I would ask at the council tax office where you stand. No harm in asking about a rent rebate either. Contact your local DSS they should be able to tell you more. Good Luck.

How do you deal with the Glasgow Housing Association?

Monday, September 21st, 2009

My hubby and I have a 10 month old son. All three of us live in a studio flat, which, as you can imagine, is extremely cramped. We found out recently that we are unexpectedly expecting again. This has put us in a bit of a rush to find a bigger flat. Problem is that we are unable to rent privately a flat large enough for a family of 4 due to our financial situation. So, we turned to our local HAs for help. We have pending applications with a few HAs and are turning in other applications this week for other areas. Problem is, the ones we have applied to couldn’t care less about our situation, and pretty much said we’ve got almost no chance of ever getting a place, even when we mentioned the pregnancy situation and are prepared to turn in supporting evidence to that effect. We’re hard-working family people who need a hand – what can I do to try and expedite our claim or get them to see the severity of our situation? We’re not looking for handouts – we just genuinely need help.
Any advece would be greatly appreciated, especially from those who have been in a similar situation.

Thank you very much guys.
Note: Second child was not planned!

Not sure in Scotland but in England the housing don’t have to offer you anything until the child is over 1 years old as technically they can sleep in the same bedroom as their parents.

When the council houses became housing associations in England, local councillors were kept on the housing board to make sure that they gave houses to people who really need them. So I would make an appointment with your local councillor and see it that helps.

My son was living with his girlfriends parents and they had a baby and our large local housing association (used to be the council) were not interested in giving them and their baby a house. They were lucky and got a house of another very small housing association who were a lot more sympathetic to their plight.

I hope you manage to get something soon.

I hope this helps. :-)

If I find anything else out I will come back and edit. I have family in Glasgow so will ring them and see if they have any ideas.

Mutual exchange of flats, help?

Monday, September 21st, 2009

I have a Glasgow housing association flat, 2 bedrooms, been here for 6 months and get housing benefit so rent is always paid on time.
I know someone who is also with GHA, 2 bedroom flat, rent always paid on time, in a different area.
We were wanting to know if we could exchange/swap houses?
And if so, how we go about doing this?
Cheers!!

I did this before (9years ago, things may have changed).

Ring your housing association. Im sure that this wont be a problem as your not up/down grading – Simply moving area.

Give them a ring. Things will become clear.

GoodLuck. :-D
