The New Coventry House

I went to collect the keys on Friday. Before I set off, I’d looked on the ARLA web site to find a Letting Agent and had a conversation with them about the services they offered. It seemed very comparable with my others, but with the added advantage that they gave you three months’ rent guarantee cover, and then when you do have to pay, it is actually cheaper than the policy I have with another company.
The house seemed fine. I might try to do something about the garden, though, once it’s let. That will probably be the only time I visit it. I’ve handed all of the keys to the letting agent, Whitegates. They’ll value it on Monday, Fingers crossed that they don’t come in too much lower than surveyor did eventually. He went form £625.00 pcm to £1000.00. Unbelievable. I actually want about £865.00. Anything else is a distinct bonus.
What is more, I managed to park in Coventry for nothing. All of the estate agents and letting agents are in one road. There is one street, just near to one of the main car parks, where you can park for an hour. Plenty of time!
