House Hunting as a Foreigner in the UK

As with any country, finding a house or apartment to rent in the UK comes with its own unique set of challenges and quirks. Having recently been through this process ourselves (Chris and I are just under a week away from our move to Nottingham), we decided it would be the perfect time to share some of what we have learnt from our own house search. In principle, most of the application was similar to what I would have experienced in the USA – however there were some notable differences. For example, many of the properties we found online stated that they would not accept DSS applicants. I soon learnt that this stands for Department of Social Security and is a British reference to applicants on housing benefits. We also share our thoughts on the best ways to conduct your search, what to do if you are looking for a pet friendly property and what to expect when applying for a property.
