How do I find a place to live in Cheltenham?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"To find a place to live in Cheltenham, you can start by researching the different neighborhoods and areas within the town to determine which one best suits your needs and preferences. Consider factors such as proximity to work or school, public transportation, and local amenities. Next, set a budget for your housing expenses, taking into account rent or mortgage payments, utilities, and any additional costs such as council tax or maintenance fees. This will help you narrow down your search to properties within your price range. Once you have a clear idea of your preferred location and budget, you can begin searching for available properties. There are several ways to do this: 1. Online property search websites: Websites such as Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket allow you to search for properties based on your criteria, including location, price, and property type. You can also set up email alerts to be notified of new listings that match your preferences. 2. Local estate agents: Contact estate agents in Cheltenham who can help you find suitable properties and arrange viewings. Some popular estate agents in the area include Peter Ball & Co, CJ Hole, and Andrews. 3. Local newspapers and classifieds: Check the property listings in local newspapers such as the Gloucestershire Echo or browse online classifieds like Gumtree for private rental listings. 4. Social media and community groups: Join local Facebook groups or online forums where people may post about available properties or share recommendations for estate agents and landlords. 5. Word of mouth: Let friends, family, and colleagues know that you are looking for a place to live in Cheltenham, as they may have connections or know of available properties. Once you have found a property that meets your needs, arrange a viewing to inspect the property in person. Be prepared to act quickly, as the housing market in Cheltenham can be competitive. When you find the right place, submit an application or make an offer, and be prepared to provide references and proof of income to secure the property," said one person in Cheltenham.
