Where else can I advertise my flat to rent? I only really know Gumtree and rightmove is just for estate agents?

If its an area people walk past put a poster int eh window with your number on. You can by to let signs off e-bay for good prices, you just tell them the phone number you want on it. This can then be put in property window or attached to property. If you have more then one property for rental its a good buy as can be used again. Ring around you local agents too you can usually play them off against each other and get a good deal especially with current market agents want all properties they can get. If you just use the tenant find service you can say your do all your own agreements and paperwork all you want them to do is market it.

You can advertise your property for rent direct with http://www.propertydirectfromtheowner.com - you can advertise your property directly through this website - no commission or agents fees involved.

Accomodation for students or Accomodation for professionals. If you look on the landlordzone website they usually have a few links to sites, together with some useful advice.

If you dont want to use an agent, try advertising in local newsagent or supermarket window/notice boards. Its up to you though to get suitable references etc and hopefully end up with a good tenant.
