Can anyone recommend a good letting agents in MK? I need to rent out my house but don't know who to use/trust.

Evening all.

Can anyone recommend an aerial installer? I want to reconnect the existing aerial, but will probably have to replace it, and run cable into the bedrooms.

Many Thanks

In the MK News we had delivered yesterday there was a vouchers for a reduced price compost bin. I think the cheapest one was £8 instead of £30 or £50:eek:

Thanks for your advice re letting agents. I'm thinking of going middle management, so letting them find the tenants and collect the rent but i'll take care of the maintenance. I'll look up Belvoir but I couldn't use Step, I've heard too many bad stories about them. Thanks again guys!

One more question!!! Can anyone recommend a fairly priced gardener or anyone that wants to earn a few bob tidying up a garden at short notice? I'm fast running out of time to get my property tarted up for renting out and the garden's in desperate need of some tender loving care!

Are there any laundrettes in the MK area - the 'old fashioned' Eastenders type, where you can get a service wash done. I've got a large sleeping bag which got grubby on the kids bedroom floor which I need to take on holiday with me.

Hi Raksha,

There's a proper old-fashioned launderette in Stony Stratford.
It's sort of on the high street - by the Church & library.

Easybus doesn't run any more :-( (shame that, it was quicker than Megabus)

Easybus still exists, but it now only runs London to Luton Airport.....

Yup, Stelios has restricted it just to the Luton area, which makes sense really...

lady_noluck I could recommend a gardener but he's very busy at the moment and is booked into sort my parents' garden out in May - that's how busy he is. That might not be soon enough for you... If you'd like his number all the same PM me...
