Have you tried Airbnb? Maybe not the cheapest option but there are a few flats on there in the area & they might offer a discount for a longer stay.

We were in a similar situation and ended up taking a short let through Foxtons with a week to go before our build. You may already have ruled out using an agent but two of the places we looked at were on Airbnb for more money, even taking into account the rental fee we paid to Foxtons! And I have to say, they were really helpful and the whole process ran very smoothly.

Also Madison Hill do short lets and had availability at short notice when we were looking.
