MADAM, My partner and I are currently expecting our first

child, a little girl, at the end of November. We currently

live in Bolton, Greater Manchester, but Oonagh's family

and friends live in Ross. As this is our first child and we

are preparing for a complete life changing experience we

need the support of friends and family.

We need to move to Ross as soon as possible. I have

a job in Gloucester that starts on October 1st, but we

cannot find a place to rent in the town under £1600

(admin fees, first month rent, and a month and a half

deposit). We have £1200 but cannot find a property that

matches this budget.

I wonder if there any private landlords who could

help us. I have spent night after night on the phone and

internet and cannot find a landlord or property in Ross

that meets our budget. I am so lost now and don't know

which way to turn.

Any help would be greatly received. We are

desperate to move to Ross, so baby and mum can be close

to family.
