Long story short...we live in a village (Australia) which is highly desirable. Rental properties are like hen's teeth.
Our landlady has just told us she wants to sell....nightmare. Our DC are settled here and we don't want to leave the area.
So...a house has come up this week for rent...I just spoke to the letting agent and she says the current tenants are in the process of moving out and won't be fully out till the 23rd....so no viewings till then....she said she would email me an application form and I will be the first she tells when its free to view. (I would move in without viewing frankly)
We thought about offering a bit more rent than is asked for as a way of trying to get in first...would this be a good idea or a bad idea?
The amount wouldn't be more than we can afford...the rent is actually very affordable for the property...I've told the agent that our landlady is very nice and has said that we can take our time to look for a new house but this one will be hard to beat so we want it.
