Just found out that the place I was interested in already has a deposit on it.
The landlord is abroad at the moment so had been awkward to contact. When the estate agent did reach him, he found out another estate agent had already taken someone's deposit even by the time that I looked at it.
Apparently the landlord isn't entirely convinced that the other person will meet the credit check, and they'll get back to me if not.
Bit of a bugger, as it had a lot of good points. On top of that, it means I've 'wasted' most of today simply waiting to find that out (I began worrying at lunch time when I noticed the property had disappeared off the website). Had been waiting for the guy to call me anyway, e-mailed him this morning, called at lunchtime, then called again now at 3pm to finally find out - wish they'd have at least just told me asap. Ohhh well. Onwards and upwards!

ReplyDeleteBum.
ReplyDeleteNot much else you can do, except keep looking. It's not a bad thing at this stage, I have a lot of faith in the concept of 'informed decisions'.
Glad you've got others in the pipeline anyway and also i hope they get back to you soon if the other person's check falls through. Every week his property is empty he is loosing money so, he should do.
ReplyDeleteAmanda: The other person who left the deposit might also be a Christian and then "the Big Guy" would have to choose. Aaah but then he would have favorites...
There goes that theory then.

ReplyDeleteand stop acting like you know me, we had a convo ONCE where you slagged off someone behind there back and i told you i dint wanna hear it. END OF, so stop acting like we are mates and you care, I got no time for troubel makers.
If this continues, I'll end up believing in karma... One negatively titled post and look what happens.
ReplyDeleteAll of the people who have commented here I would call friends. Some more so than others, but all friends none-the-less.
I shall not entertain continued bitching of any sort between my friends in my blog.
Dianne: I found your original comments both amusing and thought-provoking.
Manda: 'Though it brings me great pain to quote this, I'm afraid there's nothing else for it. "Calm down dear! It's just a comme-"nt. ;) I would not say you were being a bitch, but I would say there was some (IMO) unjustified bitchiness creeping in there.
Roses: All reasonable points, although some sympathy on the "last chicken in the shop"-look would be appreciated. *sniff*
Sandy's Mate: Whilst you cut straight through the bullshit and the fannying about with your comment, it was unfairly harsh. Even although I feel positively dirty for saying it twice in one comment, the same goes to you: "Calm down dear!" (Euch, and that guy *really* gets on my tits)
I know that at least some of you will not be happy with my final words on this subject.
Tough.
My blog, my rules, my last word.
Deal with it and come back tomorrow.
You all remain my friends, and you are all welcome (and encouraged) to continue commenting.
