Absolutely fizzing furious this morning. We’re currently in the position of trying to rent a place in Dundee. Work is taking us north of the border so me, Suzey and Charlie hauled it up to Scotland to look at some properties to let. We saw 5 in all and one was absolutely perfick.
Now before starting out on this course we were warned by a few friends that Dundee estate agents are notoriously awful. The market is pretty liquid up there, properties go quickly and you don’t have be the sharpest tool in the box to lease stuff out. We were warned it’s not unusual for the agents to uncommunicative and to find a property you’ve offered on has gone with no warning at all.
And that’s what’s happened to us. We saw a place we really liked, said we wanted and then spent since then trying to get any traction with the estate agents only to find out this morning from their front desk that the house has gone. This despite the point we’d got to was waiting for a call back from the agents last Friday.
So it means another trip to Scotland and another couple of days looking round for places to live and even less chance of getting there before Christmas. My rage-o-meter is on full infuriate.
Luckily this picture cheered me up a bit
