£20K! That would cover nearly 3 years of my rent.

Hey All,

There are always more properties out there as we know, but, you know when you find "the one". The one you walk into and it takes you back a step and you just know its home? Thats the kind of place this is for me. I have been to countless house viewings and searched more sites than i thought possible.

Most of the properties were off-street parking (...and if you are a car-nut like myself thats a big worry) or don't like dogs, or don't even have a garden!.

This property scores all the right points and meets my criteria, but i genuinely feel the landlord is just being unreasonable. If they are unwilling to co-operate then i think my only option is to move on and find something else.

I had offered to pay 3 months rent up-front and a deposit, so if i were to have my contract ended (for the first time in 3 years, mind you) then they still have the minimum term paid on the let, but apparently thats not good enough, they just want the whole lot, or nothing...what a shame.

Cheers,

MrT

LOL! Its his ******* property, he can be as 'unreasonable' as e wants. Just like you have the opportunity to look elsewhere but you dont want to.

Thanks Guys :-)

I have thrown them my previous offer back and will see what they do, in the mean time i have thrown my PlanB into action and talking numbers and dates with them just incase it all goes sour.

Until then i am in serviced accommodation (finished moving in at 2AM yesterday, what a way to spend a saturday night!!). Hopefully i won't be here too long, at least i can claim the tax back on it though which is a bonus!

Cheers,

Mr.T

Get into a shared house. Then you won't have to get on the lease. You just have to find one with a large bedroom that doesn't mind a couple moving in. You can find one with professionals rather than students. I'm in one now. Get your own bathroom.
