Same boat
Hey Kieran,
At least a month before you are due to start at B'mouth, HR will send you a couple word.doc's, one with tips about choosing a place & the other is a long long long list of places you could stay, detailing contacts/range/description's. There is also details of a few letting agents who DO have 3-month contracts...and are familiar with the CATC setup.
BTW I am due to start 212 with you [so is RickyPbrown].
Feel free to PM me and Ricky as we were waiting for more 'June' ppl to show up...I think you can CC a PM to 2ppl. When there is more of us we can just email & there is a forum they set up for you prior to starting.
