Finding a privately rented home

Finding a property can be extremely tough and time-consuming so we’ve put together a useful guide to assist homeseekers in this process. The guide helps you know where and how to look for properties, how to prepare well for starting a tenancy, and how to maintain your tenancy. 

The council is committed to ensuring private rented accommodation in the borough is safe and well-maintained. If you’re experiencing issues with your existing accommodation, the Private Sector Housing Team may be able to assist in getting matters resolved. Please contact us by completing the private sector team contact us form. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 also plays a vital role in this process, ensuring the private rented sector becomes less transient and more long-lasting with the hope that this will benefit private renters and communities.
