Male (25) seeking house in Manchester

Hello, my names Airron Alexander I’m 25 years old I'm a full time coach driver/pco licence holder looking for my first flat and to hopefully move in very soon! I currently make around 2,000-2,500 a month after tax however renting in London is so hard and I have been trying for a year and half now with no real luck and a lot of disappointments with the few I almost closed in with. So after a long hard think I've decided to take the big step and relocate! With relocating I'll be doing the same field of work but closer to my new home! I’m looking for somewhere I can call my own. I’ve been living with my nan and my cousins since I was born basically my mother passed when I was 4 years young and now my one of cousins has a 7 year old daughter who lives with us now my Nan herself told me and my other cousins it's getting very crowded, so we are all trying to find our path and I believe moving outside of London and carrying on my passion for driving will help me get through and eventually be able to buy my own property! My nan isn't too happy at all so just trying to get a chance to prove myself to somebody and hopefully rent ideally for the next 5 years who knows maybe even longer. I just want to find a nice cosy space I can call my own. (Do not intend to offend in anyway, always been told you never know until you ask. Sorry in advance) Few questions; how soon can I move in? What are the total payments needed before moving in? Are long term lets a possibility? (such as 5+ years straight) Is the monthly price negotiable at all? (Just asking not to cause any offence) Love the area and the property hope to move in very soon. Also if references are needed, I can provide payslips for proof of work, I get paid weekly so will be quite a few payslips, I also can provide a reference from management, photographic ID ( passport/driving license ) however, I’m yet to have had my own flat so I haven’t got a landlord reference unfortunately. I hope that doesn’t ruin my chances because I’ve come across so many that have turned me down due to my age and lack of landlord references, nobody wants to give me a chance I just need that one chance! Hope to hear from you soon Airron Alexander 07405532683
