Dear Michael, I hope everything is going well. I am sorry that I couldn’t reply to your
last
email immediately. Actually, these days are busy here and I needed proper time to collect my thoughts and provide you with practical tips about housing in Birmingham. I have been living in a 40-square-meter flat located in downtown Birmingham for 2 years.
This
flat had one living room, one bedroom and one equipped kitchen.
Although
it was not spacious, it was well-appointed and affordable as well for a college student. Thanks to advancing digital technologies, numerous websites and online platforms are publishing real states advertisement of Birmingham. I listed some of them and you can find them enclosed.
First
, go through their websites and filter the areas around the university and compare prices and facilities of different cases. The
last
but not least comment that came to my mind is that you need a reputable agency to prepare an official contract as all contradictions between you and your landlord will be judged based on a legal agreement not undocumented interaction. I hope you find these hints handy and if you need
further
information do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Mohammad
