Ask the estate agency.
Most of them don't like contractors or self-employed people so ask you to pay x months in advance."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I was totally fine. The misses is in full time employment though, so this may make a difference. The bugger estate agents may require last years self assessment and maybe a reference from your accountant (you do have one right?)...Though my accountant said he didn't hear anything from anyone.
Another option I have heard of is someone signing as a guarantorComment

I've just rented a place and the agent used a portal for entering all this. One of the options was to ask your accountant (I knew I should have trademarked that). Just put my accountants details and it had fired a mail straight off to my account and job was a good un.
You do have an accountant don't you????'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Two times i had to deal with this, the first time the agent/landlord was happy to proceed based on me paying 6 months rent in advance - shouldn't be a problem as a contractor you really should have at least 6 months worth of monthly expenses to cover bench time anyway. The second time i had to give them SA302 which is a summary of your income from your self assessment.Comment

I've rented places in London for the past 5 years and have always just provided an accountants reference. No 6 months up front - just the normal deposit and (the now gone) ridiculous agency fees.Comment
