Super helpful video! I just moved from NYC to London and have realized both these cities need the same rigor finding an apartment.

[@Andie_Estella]

Would love to see a follow-up on agencies or brokers you'd recommend working with, either in a video or via your substack! :)

[@MonicaXGuan]

My advice on how to rent a flat here in London England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is don't spend much on things you don't need! Always keep an eye out on affordable things rather than expensive stuff! Also, save money inside a bank account & take out a little bit of money!

I need a step by step how to get visa sponsorship company to move to London aka my dream city

[@MonicaXGuan]

Haha I’ll try to make one but unfortunately it’s not so straightforward and easy 😔

[@hamoyamo]

@@MonicaXGuan omg yesss can we get some tips on how you managed to find a company that sponsored your visa? where you searched, interview stages, what questions they ask you, and how many years of experience did you have professionally?

[@aliceeehooo]

Love your throw blanket! Do you mind sharing where you got it from?

[@MonicaXGuan]

Arket! 🤗

[@handlebarsride]

hey have to say this your videos are really good/.

[@mercheg.8397]

So useful, ❤ thank you 😊😊. Is it common that they keep your deposit when you leave, using any excuse regarding maintenance or similar? It happens in Spain despite the pictures having been taken!

[@MonicaXGuan]

Def does happen sometimes, I've personally never had an issue. But there all deposits are required to be under a protection plan so if there are issues you can dispute it. They are quite fair with disputes.

[@mercheg.8397]

@@MonicaXGuan I see, thank you! 😊

[@biserkaterzic79]

Hi Monica, what is happening if after 3 months of rent some of the appliances stopped working? Are you contacting agent or landlord and who is obliged to fix it? Thanks

[@MonicaXGuan]

It varies! I would start with reaching out to your agent and they will let you know who is responsible. Because some landlords here pay their agencies a management fee to take care of all requests for them so I’ve have had both.

[@SherryLuChannel]

Hi Monica, thank you for the info. How did you solve the visa gap issue? I have the similar issue... I got my YMS visa but it won't be activated until a few weeks later... do I still have the right to rent now?

[@MonicaXGuan]

Heyy so my agency made we wait to sign the tenancy until it got approved. I think you might have to wait as well to officially sign the tenancy, but check with the agency! I think it might be more lax if you're going direct to an landlord.

[@SherryLuChannel]

@@MonicaXGuan Thank you Monica. I'm lucky that I got a job offer before going to the UK but now have more problems like I don't have BRP or NI or right to rent...

[@TheLuckyJam]

4:50 Does it mean that if I move to the UK with skilled worker visa, I will have to pay 6 months upfront? Or having a new job will be considered as a job and I will have to pay only 5 weeks upfront? Thanks for video, it's really useful!

[@MonicaXGuan]

Usually a new job is fine! They might require you to provide your work contract

[@copenhague16]

Have you ever thought about buying?

[@MonicaXGuan]

so I actually already have a mortgage in Canada 😅

[@FalcomScott312]

It's expensive buying a flat here in London England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so renting is better

[@Matt-rw9py]

I have now moved to my new strategy when it comes to living in London cheaply. And that is to find a girl who owns a place in London and make her fall in love with me 😂 Tired of renting 🥵

[@MonicaXGuan]

haha that would certainly help
