1- Won’t find anything for that price, maybe if Hackney (crime, drugs, etc) if they’re lucky. Think more in the 800-1000 for a one double bedroom flat in a ok neighbourhood.
2- 6 months= minimum.
3- 1 and a half month of deposit + first month.
4- Everything you can, including passport, visa, recommendation letters, diplomas, proof of funds (bank), etc.
5- No but the price is higher because it’s an agent.
6- craigslit, gumtree.
I hope this helps.

1. Difficult to say as it depends how ‘safe’ an area they want to live, how long they are willing to commute, what they can afford to pay in travel costs. London is divided into London Underground Zones (eg 1 in the centre of town, 6 on the outskirts. The further out the cheaper it gets. Maybe try Barking (zone 4) because you can get to canary wharf (zone 2) easily and it bypasses zone 1 (cheaper).
2. Short term will be expensive if through an agent. For short term it would be better to try private ads in or.
3. Usually one month’s rent or 6 weeks rent as deposit, plus the first month’s rent in advance. They will probably have to pay an arrangement fee if they go through a letting agent, typically £50-150.
4. Usually proof of employment, passport/id, bank statements etc
5. See 3.
6. and. You will find the bargains there. Or, for the more expensive lets.
I agree with the other poster that £500-600 is not much. You might be able to find a studio at that price, if you’re lucky. Really need £750+ these days.

hello,
me &my husband jst came here 20 days ago..
same probs with us also as with ur frnd.
well i will suggest HOUNSLOW area is good for inidans..it is 3 stop after a heathrow airport..
in studio u will have to share with someone(not preferable)..
prior we were thinking when in india that we will get some good rental apt near 500 to 600 pounds,but we were wrong..
infact we get a nice 1BHK in 870pounds per month a bit costly but including all taxes!and with a garden at back and lots of punjabies and indians r here..safe area.
and hounslow tube station is near so it has good frequency to go for job in good area..
gumtree and rightmove and finaproperty sites may b useful
near hounslow tube station there is an agent office named:LOMABORD AGENT for a rental home in good area..
yes 6 moths aggrement is there for any contract minimum,but in that time u cn hv search for another good option!
i think this is useful to u..
