Right then,
I've just purchased a 2-bed flat in Bristol. It's in a great location, is very nicely decorated, furnished and plenty of gadgets. Basically a cracking flat, very decent size and with views of SS Great Britain. I am also relatively normal .
I'm currently trying to rent out my second bedroom since the extra cash would be useful. I'm asking a very reasonable rent including all bills, which compares well with other flats in the same area (And is in a brilliant location, right in the centre- So better than most other stuff around). And the rent is right- I've done my research. It's cheap-ish!
2 problems with it- The room is quite small, and there's no parking- Although you can easily park on the street 5 mins away, which I do every day. Plus if you work in the centre, you are already there!
I'm tearing my hair out trying to let the room, and fed up to the back teeth of ignorant muppets picking fault with the room- Coming around and turning their nose up at the size of the room, acting like they would be doing me a favour taking it, haggling the rent etc. etc. Also acting surprised that there is not a reserved parking space for them- If the flat had a space, I would be in it!!
And this is the ones who actually turn up!! So far I have had 4 people make appointments and simply not turn up- I've rushed home from work for them simply not to show. No 'phone call, no e-mail, text, nothing.
Various people have promised to give me an answer but haven't bothered, and have ignored my 'phonecalls asking if they are still interested.
Why are people so rude these days? I would NEVER make an appointment and simply not bother to turn up. How difficult is it to make a phone call?
Grr.
Off my chest now. Thanks.
