Pontcanna gets my vote too, trouble is that it is seroiusly expensive.

Where did you move to in the end?

If you are in London then no chance.
Many other areas of the UK then yes it will be enough.

If the tank was empty before you moved in you would still have to empty it now, so you are no worse off.

The nothern suburbs Whitchurch, Llanishen, Rhiwbina are safe with good schools. Good facilities and transport but maybe not too lively.
If you are rich Roath Park has great schools and beautiful park ...

That's useful! Sums up most of London really.

Google: shelter

Shelter is a charity that works to alleviate the distress caused by homelessness and bad housing.

Perhaps more people should report suspected fraud rather than just discuss it?

The university will have an accomodation services department who may arrange rooms in student halls.
Have you asked them?

Check the address etc. as others have said.
Then if you plan to go ahead just pay for one night in advance and the rest when you arrive.
That is how most hotels etc. work.

Late 20's, living with parents, I assume you have managed to save a deposit?
If not you will have no chance once you are in London.

Another give away id the price.
£150 a week for a flat in London (with flat screen TV and DVD), not a hope!

Where are you coming from?
You say bring a car, too much paperwork.

You won't need a car, too expensive and public transport is efficient.

They are minor repairs that could be done in a few hours.
Why not just fix the problems and get on with the letting?
You seem to be making a big issue over such a small problem.

i dont know but in this part of london rents are dropping to many for let signs up.

Where is "this part of London" where rents are dropping?

Fees are often equivalent to a weeks rent + VAT, so approx 28% + VAT

The 35% you have agreed to pay is not much more.

There are many flats available for under £250.
OK, they may not be in the best areas but they do exist. Example below from glowbiix.com and there are many cheaper than this, One beds from £170 ish. ...

I agree, the point I was trying to make was that the rent on 'executive ie. expensive) flats is falling but rent the cheaper flats is going up. That include the £250 studio 'kennels'!

Rents may be falling on the very expensive (£600pw+) flats.
However rent on 'cheaper' flats (£250+) is going up in many areas.

Acantho, I don't spend my weekends in Borough so that is not a reason. Perhaps you could justify why you wouldn't live there. Or maybe you don't go there either and are just posting unhelpful commen ...

OK it's not the cleanest area, but I still feel safe there. I don't have a Kevlar bra and boyfreind is not built like a rotweiller!

All the areas that Scammy Scam suggests are lovely. Unfortunately they are also very expensive and you are unlikely to be able to rent a shoebox on your budget.

Acantho, perhaps you could expand on your answer and tell us why you wouldn't live there?

I have always felt safe there.
