I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I'm

are you dumb bro?

just use temporary accommodation (find a room on gumtree or whatever) when you arrive and find something more permanent when you are in the country

it's a 'hopefully' a year and a half away that is autistic levels of planning

You misread my post, I said half a year away, that's actually not a crazy lot of time.
Also, why is it easier to rent a room than a flat? Isn't it the same thing when you're moving there unemployed?

wow i did misread it

also renting a room is easier because its less formal, often for a non-fixed amount of time etc

try airbnb or gumtree

but this is assuming you are moving to a city

You don't need to pay six months in advance

What's your budget for the move and which city are you moving to?

Yeah, temporary accommodation, airbnb is fine for this purpose.

Be prepared to spend AT LEAST 500 pounds a month on a roof over your head. Rent is notoriously terrible at the moment, I had to move up North back in with my family just because I could not stay in London for the few months that I would need to find a job there without selling a kidney or winning the lottery.

+ deposit which is normally equivalent to 1 month's rent

Renting a room would be the best way to start.
