Guest Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 At last I've got the other house let to new tenants. We've spent the last month and a bit cleaning up after evicting the last lot and I've had a few rooms decorated. Oh and I had a new bathroom put in - I was planning to do that anyway as some of the wall tiles were loose but there was also NO WAY I was scrubbing the old toilet! I've let it to a nice young couple with a year old son and another baby on the way. He already asked if he can decorate the small room in pink (I didn't get this room decorated) if he returns it to neutral when they leave, he also asked if he could put blinds up at the windows. I have a good feeling about them. They did need to have a guarantor but their points were dead close to not needing one (he gets paid at least half his salary on commission). I just hope they want to stay a long time, I think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenlass Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 What a relief for you ...Sounds as if they have really fallen in love with the place wanting to decorate it etc. They are obviously keen to make it a "home" so hopefully will care for it as if it were their own!

Guest Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks all - its a relief to have the money rolling in again. I had to curtail my shopping for a few months there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 having time on my hands at the moment so spend a lot of time on the forum but have got lots of bits done, reading this thread reminded me to chase up my letting agent. I kept my own house when OH & I got married, just realised that the rent has not been reviewed for 13 years!!! So I've spoken to the agent today about gradually increasing the rent to bring it up over the next 12 months to a reasonable amount. I'm too soft my tenants have been there for 10 years & brought up a young family, I dont want to lose them but I think they've had a good deal for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Gosh, I first read that as 'left the house' - I thought 'Oh no, what's happened?'. Hope it works out better this time, Pengy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
