Letting Agents and stuff

[caddyman]

How rude.

The letting/management agents were supposed to phone last night to let us go and see a flat a little further down the High Road from the Athenaeum Club. In the event, there was no phone call and no visit. Admittedly, at three bedrooms, the flat is bigger than we are looking for, and the quoted rent is a little higher than we were hoping for, but a viewing would be welcome as it would give us an idea of what is available and what we can expect for our money.

Who knows, we might even have decided to take the place.

I suppose that we really need to register with a number of agents now. We have to move in about 6 weeks, so time is beginning to crack on and places are beginning to be advertised that fall vacant just when we need them.

Did I mention that I hate moving?

Moving is the second worst thing in life, it places just after Dying (which is the worst thing)

I've used and loved rightmove.co.uk whenever I've moved.

Good luck to you both, there, Bry. I hate it too. People say that moving house is the most traumatic thing that happens in ones life, but that seems a bit daft to me, as (for instance) the loss of a loved one is much worse.

When Stacey and I married and bought a house in the mountains, the escrow was horrible, but the house-hunting was jolly interesting and the move was inconvenient rather than traumatic.

If I was living there, I would help you on moving day. A gaggle of friends with a few vans will help enormously.
