Home sweet Home 2 : Where to find it?

So my little ones, I already explained about how London is divided and how different parts of London are different.
Now I want to help you out with where to find flats, houses etc.
First of all where most people would start their search is http://www.gumtree.com
It is a website where you can pretty much find anything. It can be very useful to find jobs as well, I found my summer job. When you are looking for a place to live choose Flats & Houses and for rent. Then put in all of your preferences like city e.g. London prices per week private or through agency.
I would recommend to try to do it private, that means that you are directly renting from the landlord.
If you choose agency then you will have to pay an agency fee later for their work. As much as I know that should be more safe, but all of my friends who have rented directly through landlords were satisfied and did not find much difference from working with an agency, only the agency fee was the difference.
Also always check all the adds, some of them are fake!!!! If you contact the person who is offering the place and he is not in the country right now or he cannot meet you but you can still transfer him the money then is a LIE!!!!!!
Here are some other websites :
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property/London.html
http://www.zoopla.co.uk/to-rent/property/london/
http://www.moveflat.com/
http://www.spareroom.co.uk/

This websites have the cheapest flats that you could find. All of the others websites that I looked at have nice flats but they are  a bit expensive. If you have the money to live in a nicer place I highly recommend that. Flats/houses in London are probably nothing that you are used to. In Estonia most of the flats are the same but not here. Because its a big city there are a lot of not so good places but they are cheap but then problems like broken boilers may occur
Always be careful and double check everything If you have friends who already live here ask them because maybe they can actually recommend someone. Looking for a place to live may take a while so don't give up and keep going.
You can also find Flat Shares , it means basically someone is already living in a flat or house and someone moved out of the accommodation and they have a spare room. If you don't mind living with strangers then it could work for you, and perhaps those strangers can become one of your best friends.
If you are looking for some one to live in a spare room that you have then you can  post an add on those websites managed above. If you find people who would like to live with you always interview them. See if you like them, don't just go with the first choice.
I hope this could at least be of some kind of help for you guys.

Home not so sweet Home

Hey there,
So I thought today I would post about something that is a big problem for everyone who is moving to London. Finding a decent and affordable place to live.
Well good luck with that!
I've been in London for over a year now and I have had sooo many problems with finding a place to live that  I probably have grey hair now.
First of all remember London is divided into WEST, NORTH, SOUTH and EAST.
WEST is really beautiful but its super expensive and posh but its safe, there are loads of parks there and mainly white people (no offence).
NORTH is less expensive then west but still expensive. In terms of safety in depends on the exact erea where you choose to live. For example Camden is where loads of alternative, indie etc people hang out and go out but to actually live there is not that safe.
SOUTH is affordable but there are mostly different colored and poor people. It does depend on the area because I used to live in Clapham Common which is South and it was a lovely place but that was mainly because only people with good incomes live there. All the areas around where .. well.. dirty and looked unsafe.
EAST is where I live now. Its not too bad. I live at Canning Town which is zone 3. the transport access there is pretty good so I cannot complain about that. The people who live in east London are usually colored people, white people with low income, students and people who came from Baltic countries or Poland to work in London. East used to be the most dangerous part of London but as far as I can tell its alright. Probably better then South.
I will post later about things like Council Tax, where to find flats/houses etc, tips on what to look for, what problems may occur.

Thursday

So I am sitting in the library and trying to study but I would rather sleep. Who wouldn't?
I never imagined that second year is sooo much more time consuming. I find it very easy to pass every essay and project but I want to get good grades so because of that I have read, read, read and research, research  research.
For anyone who already is at Uni or is going a recommend every day to make To Do List.

I know, I know what you would all say, that you make them and never follow through but when you are at Uni and you want to have a social life and good grades you'll just have to follow your To Do List.
Its pretty simple and when you are done with it you will feel good about your self.

Anyway just wanted to share a little tip with everyone, even though I think every one knows this already
