hanks for the sincere interest you have in my flat and yes you can arrange for a viewing ASAP.All bills are included in the rent and my flat is a one bedroom flat(definitely not a shared flat), i appreciate your sincerity and concern you have over the renting of my flat,because i have so many candidate online that are interested in my flat,but they are not trust worthy of their financial ability.So i have to work with care in having a good tenant,i liked the way you expressed your feelings over my flat and i appreciate.I fully understand all you have said and i would love to make you my tenant. Housing benefit are not accepted and will only be accepted if you stand as a middle man.I have experienced so many things in the hands of them,so i would not want to go through such again and don,t meet up to date as they promise.
It is unfortunate that our past bitter experience of inviting people to come and view our flat or make a reservation without any form of confirmation of their financial ability and not keeping up to time as at when scheduled,it has brought about great loss to us. I have traveled all the way from Coventry to take some interested candidates around our flat because that's where i work. Some outside tenants do not have the money to pay the rent and yet they disturb the landlord to arrange a viewing with their friend or relative who are in Reading, also some do not meet up with the appointments which has led to the dismissal of some landlords in office by their employees.
However, i wouldn't want to collect any money from you as long as you have not sign a contract neither have i take you round my flat.we would not ask you to send your bank statement. At least 1 Month rent and security deposit which is 350GBP(all bills included) & a deposit of 650GBP which is refundable after your first week stay in my flat, would be required from you to transfer through Western union post office and the only way i can help you is for you to make a deposit of one month because of your previous condition. You are to make the transfer using your name as the sender's name and to your closest relation(friend) name as the receiver's name to your destined address in the UK premises.
Once you have done this, you can scan the receipt to us, and if you do not have scanner, you may write out the details on the receipt as we will send it to our lawyer to verify on the online website, after verification, then we proceed for reservation/viewing and our flat is okay for you when you arrive, then you will go and pickup the money back and pay for the rent and also, i will refund back to you the cost of transfer and don,t forget all this are to confirm your financial ability and finalizing of the viewing will be done immediately.
Kindly let me know your opinion as soonest as you get this message. At this stage that you are interested in my flat.
Hope to hear from you soonest and my greetings to your family.
Best Regards
Mr/Mrs David
