    Not yet...
    Worried sick and becoming a little pi**ed off, if I'm honest.
    My husband even offered to pay 3months up front every three months for the rest of the tenancy... i dont know what more we can do/or even if we should do more??
    We are packed, notice given on this house and schools and not even a reply from landlord all day.
    Ive looked at other houses today, i dont want to end up being homeless with our children.

    We are viewing another house tomorrow midday.
    Its an extra £100 per month so i dont know what to do, we can afford it but we really wanted that house, our hearts were set on it.

    very happy for you! Remember that all this might not be down to them but the agency. They could have been the one advising them to reconsider especially if they are doing full management on their behalf and if it was up to them, would pick the tenants less likely to come to them with requests.
  • Phew, very pleased for you :T

    Thanks all,

    I just need Thursday out of the way and the keys in my hand, then i can relax.

    The agent let me know at nearly 11pm at night as the landlord let her knew then, so i think it was him

    Hopefully all go smoothly now
  • I think as a PP said, your husband asking for minor repairs was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    You need to forget this property and try and find another one quickly.

    Good luck!!

    Did you miss the part where the LL changed their mind and offered OP the tenancy?
