In my last post I was singing a happy song because we had managed to find some tenants to rent our house whilst we are away, but unfortunately that has now all fallen through and we have had to put the house back on the market. The references for the prospective tenants were dreadful - not only did they have a County Court Judgement against them, they had also been evicted from their last rental for non-payment of rent.
Of course we terminated proceedings with them immediately we found this out, but we have wasted 3 weeks in the meantime. However although it is a pain I guess that we should actually be grateful......it would have been a nightmare trying to evict them if they had stopped paying the rent whilst we were away on the boat.
Anyway our departure date is now in limbo and not only that, but we have to go back to trying to keep the house tidy in case we get a short-notice call from the estate agents telling us that someone wants to view.
In fact, I have just had a call from the estate agent and we now have a viewing scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed......
