I advertised on Gumtree as I am looking for a flat to rent and not been having much luck going through letting agencies. I got a message this morning from a woman asking for my email address as she had a flat and wanted to send me photos. After viewing the photos I asked her for a viewing date.
She then replied that she would need my full name, address, phone number and a confirmed move in date for her solicitor as she would need to draw up a tenancy agreement which I would then print off and take with me to the viewing. She said that I should let her know asap if I had other options as she didn't want to arrange a viewing only to be disappointed at the end of the day.
I spent the morning thinking about it and have just sent my details but I'm worried now! Is there anything she could do with that information? I've just never heard of a potential landlord needing those kind of details before a viewing and I'm thinking I might just have been scammed in some way! Any advice appreciated, thanks.
