Feeling upset as DD called and said that they were not successful for yet another student house for next year. One was lovely but too small, one they were not picked out of the hat! , one the previous viewers rang and said they would take it while they were being shown around and the last one they took details and said they would email the guarenteurs but then emailed to say another group had paid a deposit.
They keep emailing as instructed or phoning if there is a number. Some of the agents don't take let properties off the website and then don't email back to the request to view. She is waiting for a landlord to text back re a viewing tomorrow after calling her with availability.
Only 3 weeks in to the process but they are struggling to all get together for viewing times what with work deadlines and lectures etc.
It is cutthroat and they are getting very despondent. Lets only went live 3 weeks ago. Last year it was mid Feb when they got somewhere but were only turned down twice.
They are 2nd year students and worried that they won't get any where as there was an influx of students last year.
Anyone else have DC with the same issues?
