My husband and I will be arriving in Belfast the beginning of February. We have been looking on GumTree and PropertyPal at possible apartments/terrace homes etc. The issue is we have an 8 year old medium sized dog. She is spayed, house broken and very well trained but of the couple of inquiries I've sent, it seems landlords are reluctant to allow pets. Funds are also a bit tight so we are planning on trying to find housing on our own. So a couple of questions for everybody living in Belfast. First, what was the easiest way to secure housing when you first moved overseas? Did you just find properties on your own or did you use a realtor/relocation specialist? Secondly, is there a certain leasing agency that generally allows pets or is it almost impossible to lease a property if you have a pet? Leaving her behind is not an option so I just want to know how difficult it is going to be to find a place to live.
