Estate agents !! I am going to move back to UK to look after my dad as he is now nearly 81 & I need to be near him. I have rang 4 estate agents this morning & none are willing to help as I don't have a job in the UK. It doesn't matter that I can pay 6 months rent in advance . They all want a guarantor that owns their own house. 1 wanted 3 months deposit, 9 months rent in advance,a guarantor who owns their own house who has £12,000 in the bank. This is going to be harder that what I thought
