objet THINKING ON THE VIEWING OF THE FLAT..........£600 ALL INCLUSIVE


Hello,

Thanks for the reply.I would love to meet you, get to know you and show you round the flat so that you can see what you are renting but I have been having problems with time wasters who could not keep to there end of deal.Its really time wasting because i am a very busy person and do not really have much time to waste. To me, every seconds count.you 're generally interested out of my naturally tight daily schedule as am always attending to customers there by restricting me to the internet as my only medium of communication. viewing will not be a problem, Anytime during the week in the evening would be a good date for our meeting.The rent is still very Low considering the current economic climate in London..

Can you please answer the following questions?

-Are you really serious about the renting the flat?
-How many are you to occupy the Flat?.
-If you love the flat when you see it, will you make the payment to hold it against your move in?why I am asking these questions is basically because of my experience with my last tenant.Frank moved into my flat in JUNE:2009,on commencing the tenancy, he paid a total sum of £537.50 in rent hoping that he would pay up the balance unknowingly he provided a fraudulent employers reference to convince me of having a stable job! Although i served him with Section 8 and Section 21 Notices and obtained a Court Order for possession of the property, he was reluctant to move out or pay any of the rent arrears.County Court bailiffs got him evicted and his total debt to date is £1,263 (Quitemuch). I will prepare all the necessary documentations i:e Contract Form:which we will both sign after being satisfied with the flat.Payment will be made after signing the contracts and keys will be handed over to you once contract is made.Please,understand that i am NOT asking you to pay me BEFORE you view the flat.The neighborhood is safe and i guess you have heard much about this area?it is a safe, clean area.

-Your rent begins on your move in date..
-Viewing is never a problem.
-Proof of ownership and Documentation will be shown upon viewings.
-There is no minimum or maximum stay.
- Rent include Council Tax,electricity,gas,internet, e.t.c
-Its 600pcm and 600 refundable deposit.

Kindly get back to me about an idea on what we can do so that we can arrange a meeting for viewing.

Thanks while hoping to read from you.
Regard.


Except for the name, it's basically the same.
Actually I thought about a scam when seeing the low price for so many stuff in the flat and reading the poor English that is hard to understand sometimes..
Thank you again for this website. Without you I would still be discussing with this person. And as I don't live in the UK, maybe I would have travelled to visit a flat that doesn't even exist!
