My approach:n

  • Booked two weeks in a budget hostel as a base — this removed the panic of needing to decide immediately
  • Used that time to view flats in person before committing to anything
  • Found a house share through SpareRoom with three other postgraduate students from different countries

nnWhat made the difference:n

  • Seeing the property and meeting the landlord in person before paying anything
  • Having my documents (passport, university letter, visa) ready to go immediately
  • Not being in a desperate position — the hostel buffer bought me time to be selective
