The Pikey Life

[Poodle]

No risks? Yeah, that's why i've had to move three times in as many years, each time with less than three months notice and not by my choice. It's a massive pita trying to get anything done around the house because i've got to ask the estate agents, who have got to ask the landlord, who has gpt to get around to looking at his emails before asking a question, which is passed on to us via the estate agents, assuming they remember, at which point we give an answer they invariably don't like and six weeks later eventually turn down the request. If renting was done properly over here like it is on the continent it'd be a lot easier, unfortunately most estate agents seem to be mostly made up of salesmen and girls who couldn't find anyone else to pay them to paint their nails and patronise customers all day.

Not that this is a personal bug bear or anything.

No, for the most part renting is miles below par as far as i'm concerned, the sooner i can buy the better. Those help to buy schemes definitely carry a shit-ton of small print though, be careful with them. And don't get me started on part-buy, part-let...
