Can't comment on the area I'm afraid, just wanted to say be careful about rentals on Gumtree. There have been a lot of scams where people book and pay for rentals over the Internet and when they arrive they house has people in it totally unaware that their home has been rented out. Lots of con men (and women) out there!

Hope you don't get caught out xx

Yes, other than shared houses, all others I have seen have been a con. I will post you the keys, just pay the deposit and a months rent visa western union bla bla bla.
Dont rent anywhere without seeing it first (even from an agent!).

I know its a personal view and others may disagree, but Inala isn't the most desirable area........

Haven't lived there, but people who know it have recommended I avoid it due to high levels of crime. Hopefully someone will come on who lives there and give another view

I rented my house in Uk through Gumtree and worked great. Got a great tenant, did all the checks myself. There are genuine people out there - just need to be careful I guess. What a shame con artists ruining what should be a great site.

Personally I would not rent in Inala without visiting the area first. I might suit you, but it might not.
