Smithy’s Moving Thread [December Update!!!!]
 
Right so I’m currently looking for flats and I think I’ve just found the perfect one, it says on the site to email the estate agent obviously to proceed, but I’ve never done this before, what do I need to put in the email so that I don’t like an absolute **** :eyes:

Any help appreciated :hee:


Edit: ok i clicked email agent and it’s literally a box with a 200 character limit, you can’t even send a proper email, so I just said I’m interested please could I be provided with more details


Stay tuned for more exciting updates!!

It's a fraud

It’s just important to find a ways to make it clear that you have a good job with solid income.

That’s all the really care about.

No, it is way more important to make them know/convince them that you are sincere than having a job

You literally just email saying I am interested in the flat can you give me more infomation and do you have any viewings available...

Well I’m moving from Guernsey to Manchester so I have neither of those right now, but I do have a considerable amount of savings so :laugh:

Nooo :skull:

...I guess just email to say that you really want the flat, so what happens now in terms of documentation etc...?...pose the question to them as to the next step to your new home...(...hopefully..)...

Perfect.

Why on Earth would anyone want to a)leave somewhere nice like Guernsey b)for Manchester?!

AnnieK 01-08-2020 02:26 PM

Where in Manchester are you moving to Smithy?

Good luck with the move, and Ammi's advice is pretty sound. Agents will want employers references and credit checks to make sure the rent is affordable but if you have savings you will be able to show you have means to pay (although without an income they make ask you to pay upfront initially).

Have you ever been to Guernsey? It’s nice for a holiday but to live here it’s extortionate, the average price for a one bedroom flat is £800+ a month :skull:

The flats in Salford and it’s gorgeous :flutter:


Anyway I clicked email agent and it’s literally a box with a 200 character limit, you can’t even send a proper email, so I just said I’m interested please could I be provided with more details

I guess you've never seen London prices then :skull:

Captain.Remy 01-08-2020 02:33 PM

You're going to have a lovely time in Manchester! Good luck with getting a nice flat!

PS: bribe the estate agent if you see them being reluctant about your file :shrug: works every time.

Salford is not a nice place to live, it’s full of dodgy people and there’s so much crime going on there.

Smithy 01-08-2020 02:35 PM

Guys I’m moving to Manchester cause it’s cheaper than Guernsey

Stacey: wow good job you’re not moving to London it’s just as expensive


Like???

Make cents girl

Ammi 01-08-2020 02:35 PM

...I really, really hope that you get the flat, Smithy...and Annie and Lucas will see you right in Manchester...:love:..(..here’s hoping...)..

That's a shame, even a lot of the worst areas are better than the nice ones in Manchester (so I've heard from a friend)

Why does he want to move here? Is it for work or just because he likes it?

DouglasS 01-08-2020 02:37 PM

The people of Manchester strongly dislike Lady Gaga, I think Liverpool is a nice city next to it though
