Hello,
The minimum let is for 1 month and the maximum let is for 10 years. The property is available for renting right away and no one is living there at the moment. The price for the rent is 400 pounds/month for the whole flat (the bills and taxes are included) and you will pay for the first month of rent in advance, plus the refundable deposit of 600 pounds.
The property is very clean and I want to leave it to a person who is a clean and responsible tenant. As you can see in the photos everything is new in the flat. I am working in Spain (Madrid) and I am here with my family. For me it is a bit hard to travel to London because of my working place and I want to be sure that you are really interested in my offer. Regarding the meeting, I think we could fix a date when I can come to UK for the viewing. The property has a fully furnished kitchen and it is fully furnished with all home utilities like: electric shower, vacuum cleaner, toaster, oven and microwave, dryer, iron, washing machine , refrigerator , dishwasher, heater, cable ready tv set and dvd player, internet connection, equipped kitchen and all utilities.
I am waiting for your mail to know if you are satisfied with the details which I gave you, as well to make the necessary arrangements for the viewing. I am waiting for your response.

Good day,
PayPrimo will be our mediator. I can’t trust you to simply send the keys, I hope you understand my hesitancy as we just knew each other.
You will need to make a security deposit to this company (one month + one month security deposit). Once your deposit has been received by PayPrimo , they will deliver the keys/contract. At this point there might be two possible situations:
1. If you like the flat, you can sign the contract (send me one copy) and move-in;
2. Otherwise, PayPrimo will fully refund your deposit.
However, you will receive the procedure overview and payment instructions from PayPrimo. Using the reference given by the company, you can track your money within their records anytime.
Please send me your name/address and telephone number so I can contact PayPrimo and start the procedure. Afterwards, the company should notify you regarding the further steps.
This is the PayPrimo service i am talking about:

Looking forward to receiving your response.
Cheers
During this scam you will be sent a spoof e-mail from the escrow site requesting payment be sent to them - normally by Western Union Moneygram.
Make no mistake ! These 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.
