So, our house was put on the Market. We asked for a professional couple, employed with no children and who didn't smoke. The estate agent listened very closely to us then picked the entire opposite. I understand that they are just trying to get somebody in as fast as possible and they have to make ends meet. I just wanted to have some security.
I must admit I am a little wary about renting out to foreign people who have yet to arrive on our shores, but have been promised by our agent (b'stow eves - Remember the name folks) that there will be a stringent background check on the prospective tenants. Hmmmm! My latest nightmare...
B.E: Hello bruce, we have a flat available for rent but need to vet you before you move in. Have you got a job?
Tenant: Not yet.
B.E: You sound ideal! Bring your bong and kids and we can find you a nice little flat. With furniture to sell as you need, they have broadband so you can sell everything on eBay.
Tenant: Ripper, I'll tell all me mates we are having a monster party!
An then I wake up screaming, very quietly so as not to wake the wife, actually this is not likely to be the case in reality as we are renting to a nice Australia person and some other Aussies who we have never met. I am brimming with confidence!!
Must remember to fix the leaky tap before we leave.
Oh and we have another batch of paperwork to fill out, and more fee's. Renting sounds nearly as expensive as selling.
