There is one that I found very useful,
Google.
As for accommodation Mr White, so far it is not an option. You would be place somewhere for 6 weeks, after that you would be offer a place or the the housing allowance. It is not up to you, you can of course says your preference but the decision is theirs.
If you are offered the housing allowance, to complete av8tordude comments, I would chose a place close to your kid school if you don't want to spend 3 hrs a day in traffic.
