apartment hunting in london | viewing 10 flats in 3 days

⟡ Hello everyone! ⟡
I'll be starting my course at the Royal College of Art in London in just a little over a month from now, which means that finding a place is a top priority. I spent 3 days in the city going to back to back viewings and finally making it to the end of signing a lease all while taking you along for the journey.

It was an incredibly stressful, eye-opening, and also interestingly empowering moment for me! I signed for my first ever place on my own!

So exciting for you! I cannot wait to have that same feeling when I move over next year! Coming from Australia! High tea sounds like the most English way to treat yourself after 3 stressful days of flat hunting!

Heyy, nice that your video showed up to me!! I actually just graduated from the RCA and finsing an apartment here in London is soo hard!! things are so expensive, some outdated and sometimes for international students they ask 6 months or 12months upfront, which is crazyy!! happy to see that you find your place and hope you enjoy the school :)

One of my friends studied Fashion at the RCA and I had a tutor who also was a student there. I use to visit the yearly exhibitions but haven't been in years.

I was in Cyan's shoes late last year..looking for an apartment in London is not for the faint hearted..property listings emerge and are taken within hours..my advice..always use a registered estate agent or agency..there are alot of fraudulent characters in London looking to take advantage of the slightest opportunity and ALWAYS read the fine print of your rental agreement..

[mimi]

Can you share the rent prices? And what agency you choose to help you with find an apartment?

[lexiegruber-perez]

This is so fun! I love seeing the school. This is like a dope HGTV show lol

[jeshakrista]

[cyand]

Hi, I see that you were moving from The Netherlands to London, me too, very soon! I am wondering if I should visit London for to look for a place like you! But how did you arrange 10 viewings in 3 days in advance? The London viewings are so spontaneous/ irregular, so how could you have bought the tickets to London, and then scheduled the viewings so much in advance? From my experience, they are all like "oh are you free today/ tomorrow?" Thanks.

I’m glad I read the comments before I invested my time…no prices or areas…pass
