Viewed a property that was a bit shabby…
Viewed a property that was a bit shabby and needed cleaning as tenants were already there. It was in an area I liked so I was interested but only on the basis that it would be spruced up, Smart assured me it would be. I trusted them as there was still six weeks until move in so plenty of time. Had a second viewing after the tenants moved out and Smart directly pointed out that the previous tenants hadn't cleaned properly and they might keep some of the deposit. Don't worry it will be sorted out. Unfortunately, went to pick up my keys today and, besides, painting the walls, nothing was done. Found a crisp packet behind the washing machine, skirting boards hadn't been cleaned or painted, banister on the stairs was filthy, bathroom wasn't regrouted when this was promised. Smart kept apologising and would ask the landlord, sorry they hadn't actually checked whether the landlord had completed the things he had promised to complete. However, the general tone was one of 'well we will ask but we can't promise anything'. What is the point to an agreement if the other person doesn't keep up their end of the bargain? It had been sharers in the house before and I was sold that they wanted a family who would look after it and the landlord would make it right for a family....That didn't happen.
