Does this sound ok??

Hi
Im soon going to be handing back keys to my house and moving to rented property. I told the OR I was doing this and and that I was putting mortgage/sec loan money aside to save for rent, and they were ok with that. They just said to ring them when I had actually gone ahead and done it.

Ive got the bond and the rent etc, but Im just a bit worried about about how buying a sofa for the rental would be seen.
The property is unfurnished and the sofa Ive currently got is huge- I doubt I'd even get it in the new house, so I was looking at buying a new smaller one- nothing expensive.

Would this be ok? Ive basically got the rent/bond etc, so this month's mortgage/sec loan is "spare". Ive got moving costs to pay, but it just feels a bit bad and that I should keep the rest of the cash to one side in case the OR wants it, as Im sure once I move in they could poss want an IPA. I know IPA's are not backdated, but it just feels a bit wrong spending money, if that dosn't sound totally weird.

I think you should be ok if you are only talking about £100-200 but much more then it could be seen as taking the pee.

That's what I thought, that Im taking the p*** a bit. Because the mortgage is so huge Ive got about £750 "spare" this month. I'd phone the OR and check but they always seem mega busy when I ring them and I dont want to pester them with sofa buying queries.

I really would take the old sofa but its so big I had to have the living room window taken out to get it into the house when it was delivered, that cost me £80 about 7 years ago. The new place is really small, it would literally fill the living room.
Im only looking at spending about £250 tops but it does feel a bit "off".

That should be fine. I wouldn't worry undually about it.

I take it you are leaving the old one for the bank to sort out

Yes, I am- it's HUGE....there's no way Im wrestling that great big hulking thing out of the window frame again. The bank will have to chop it up or something:rotfl:
