Where to find rental accommodation?

Newspapers:

The Dumfries & Galloway Standard and the Dumfries Courier regularly carry adverts.

Notice Boards:

Accommodation is occasionally advertised on the notice board in the campus coffee shop.

Property Agents/Estate Agents:

Note that they can only charge you once you accept the accommodation.

Shops:

Many local shops carry advertisements in their windows or on notice boards.

Online:

The following websites may help you find accommodation in Dumfries:

  • www.spareroom.co.uk
    To reply to an advert on this site simply send a message to the advertiser through the site.  This can take a couple of days to arrive so it’s worth registering and contacting advertisers before you arrive in Dumfries.  There is an option whereby you can pay to reply to the “early bird” adverts which means those that have been advertised for less than 7 days.  Remember, you can still reply to other adverts without paying.
