I'd better start saving, the alcohol bill will be huge with both of us drinking!

We went down to the office this morning with our filled forms and paid the admin fees, so things are on the move!! We just have to wait to find out if the landlady will accept us, as we are students! Just waiting for the phone call!!
If it all goes well, we could be in the property by either this weekend or the next!
I am so excited, yet so nervous at the same time!
Looking good Sarah!, looking good!

I just had a phone call from the agent and apparently because my flat mate and I are students, the landlady wants us to pay six months rent upfront!
That is a definite couple (!) of grand!
I am trying to get them to budge on it at the moment and am awaiting news!
I hope they let us only pay 3 months in advance, as we won't be students after that point!

The silly woman!. How on earth does she expect a couple of students to pay that much up front?!.
I think giving 3 months is very fair!.

I know!
Does she really expect us to have that much cash suffed away somewhere?!
The wait is getting to me now!
I want to know now!
It is just odd that she wants upfront payment now, yet for the flat we are in now, we just paid the deposit and first month's rent and then paid monthly, as you would! My Dad is guarantor (sp?) for us, so they know they will get their money! *sigh*

I still think it'll be ok though Sarah!

Oh wow!!! Look at that kitchen and the yard! Nice! Those other pics looked great too! I just read this thread from the beginning and it is so much nicer than that first one you looked at. Good luck trying to negotiate on the 6 month rental advance Sarah.Originally Posted by Sar
Here are some pictures of the house I am going to see this afternoon!
The kitchen
And finally, the garden - for the cats to go out on their leads!
This is the house that I have (wrongly, I know) compared to all the others that I have seen! But it is so much better and closer to uni, so I don't have to struggle!
Is she daft?! 6 months up front, AND you have a cosigner? That's a bit unreasonable
What's wrong with the bat?
I watch too much british TV, I suppose.No, actually, but I'm the only american in my family, does that count?
When I lived in Germany for a short while, I lived with my cousins who spoke proper british english (well.. Welsh, actually -they were sponsored in england for a bit, and because of that, they had a bit of a welsh thing going..) By the time I came back, people asked me from where I hailed as my accent was strange, and I used odd words!

Cheers, Ryan! This was the first property I looked at and I loved it from the start! The garden is the biggest in the street too, which is pretty good!!
Denise, she vcertainly is a daft bat! I really haven't got a clue what she wants!!??
Susan, you took the words right out of my mouth!!

That explains it then
I suppose that counts as your all known as "Our American cousins!"
Erm? I do watch too much british comedy (Eddie Izzard, especially) I've noticed my American has been getting a bit worse

*sigh* Still waiting to hear back from the agent....she's certainly taking her time!
Whilst waiting, I have been looking through the details again and have noticed that they state that the property is 'Close to the Universities' three times!
If they don't want students, why mention that???!!!
I have also noticed that considering the place is supposed to be 'Fully Furnished', there seems to be a lot missing! Desk for study, hoover, kettle, toaster, microwave, coffee table....the list goes on! Two main items they lack are a lawn mower and alarm!!
I am going to speak to the agant about all this today and hopefully get the yes or no to the 3 month upfront payment!
Still keeping my fingers crossed!

I would ring them now Sarah!. And if they mention about you being students again point that out.

I think I will! I am just waiting for them to open/settle down (or something) as they don't answer the phone 'til 10:30!
Get ringing it's nearly 10.40!!
