Renting a property using online transactions

I am moving to the UK, Leceister from the Caribbean. I need to rent a house before I reach UK

You haven’t asked a question, so not sure what you want, but I’d recommend you use services such as ‘Rightmove’ to look for a property to rent.

As you don’t have a UK credit profile, I’d also suggest that you try to be able to pay a number of months rent in advance & offer this to Landlords. Our esteemed government are likely to make such upfront payments illegal later this year, and then it will get much more difficult for international tenants to rent property.

Thank you

That is what I wanted to know. If it is possible to rent a property before I reach the UK, and the best Websites to use, so I would have a place secured for my arrival

Another issue you might find, is if you find a property via Openrent, the deposit has to be paid using a debit card issued by a UK bank with a UK home address.

There is a alot of competition for rental properties at the moment, so it wont be easy

Would you recommend using Airbnb for a month, while looking for a more permanent property to rent?
