The following property websites:
The Evening Post and Trade-It papers, also accessible online:
Shop windows / community notice boards / supermarket notice boards.
Social media sites, like Facebook, often have 'market place' pages so it may be worth ensuring you
are joined up to the appropriate pages for your preferred areas because Landlords may advertise for
tenants here!
Don´t forget to speak to friends and collegues - word of mouth can often give great results.
Bristol & Weston Councils offer helpful tips and advice to people looking for rental properties.

The adverts will provide contact details of the estate agents dealing with the rental and viewings.
Each agency sets its own terms and conditions of business and fee structure - it is the tenants
responsibility to ensure they understand all requirements and charges prior to signing any agreement.
Agency fees should not be charged until an agreement to let a property has been signed. Typically,
agency fees are 35% + of the first month's rent and you may be required to pay one month
rent as a returnable deposit.
Advertising Accommodation
Another good resource to find your accommodation is the Staff Bulletin Board on Connect (Trust intranet
site). This bulletin enables colleagues to advertise within two sections: Accommodation offered and
Accommodation wanted. Although you will not find a large number of adverts, it is worth having a look.
