Hello,
Thanks for your prompt reply.I am sorry for my late responses.
Like I've said, the rent is £600 per month including all bills and the council tax.
I moved in Germany because my wife is from here and I got a new job, I work in a hospital.
You can rent the flat as long as you need to stay even for 1 or 2 years.
The first payment will be for 3 months £1800.
As you can see in the photos everything it's new in the flat and the flat is fully furnished and also benefits from wood flooring. You have internet connection, phone, washing machine with dryer, cable TV and most important parking place.
In case you want it, let me know so we can arrange the meeting. For me is very hard to come in UK and if I will come I must be 100% sure that I will not come for nothing.
I am looking for someone that will make the place clean and tidy.
It's not a problem if you are a smoker or if you have a pet.
I was in UK to show some people my flat which show me their bank statements (was false), when I get there I found out that they are not capable of paying there rent. They show me reference from both landlord and employer which I found out to be fake. They waste my money and time. I have swear that I will not show anyone my flat until I am sure that the person is capable of paying is rent. I will like to be sure that you are capable of paying your rent before I can come down. Isn't that am doubting you. I hope you understand.
Hope to hear from you soon.
PS: If something breaks down (washing machine, pipes, etc.), the building has a private employee who will handle all the repairs without any extra money because is paid by the administration.
The thief will tell you that you can rent his accommodation only if you can prove that you have genuine interest. He will ask you send money by wire transfer (normally Western Union) to yourself or a member of the family to show that you have sufficient finances and that you are not a "time waster".
Another variation of this scam is that you need to send (by Western Union) money in order that the keys and other documents can be couriered to you
He will ask you to send him the transfer details.
Make no mistake ! Western Union Transfers can be picked up virtually anywhere in the world and with the minimum of identification. They are almost impossible to trace once the money has been collected. You will never get to see the accommodation or your money again.
If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment by Western Union before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
