My GD has a rented flat in Shetland but is desperate to move to Paisley/Glasgow area to start an HND course in Glasgow in late August. She has tried every estate agent in the area BUT they won’t help as she can’t view any flat/house in person as she is 300 miles away across the North Sea! Now they are refusing to accept me as a guarantor as I’m retired and don’t have a regular job, despite having savings! Yesterday she was nearly scammed by a man who offered her a house for an all inclusive rent, but it wasn’t really his property. Apparently this Scam is rife in Scotland and maybe elsewhere too! So if you have a student in your family warn them of this scam.
The local council also refuse to help as she already has a property and they don’t care it’s 300 miles away.
Meanwhile, if you have a suitable 2 bed property in the Glasgow area please let me know.
This is the scam warning from the BBC.
