When organising accommodation always take a friend with you to view any property.  Make sure you meet any future housemates or flatmates before you decide to share with them.  Read any rental agreement carefully before signing and make sure you know how and when any deposit will be refunded.  Check the means of escape and fire precautions before signing.
