Hi all, I'd like some opinions on whether I'm BU or not. I'm relatively new to renting and don't want to be a pain for anyone - but I feel pestered to death!
We gave two required months notice to end our tenancy, there's 5 weeks to go, and every couple of days I'm getting texts or emails from the letting agent to request viewings. Initially they were asking less that 48hrs in advance, for example on a Saturday evening for Monday morning and its just not doable to rearrange work etc to accommodate them. I sent an email explaining viewings are more than welcome and I want to be as accommodating as possible but need reasonable notice to allow us to organise one of us being in.
It improved slightly with the notice but they're still arranging them constantly, this week they've arranged a viewing Monday, Wednesday, two Thursday and one Saturday. I am sick of trying to rearrange and I don't think the agents communicate because I often have to reply twice to different people.
Last week I rearranged a viewing with one agent because I said it wasn't suitable, then on the day another turned up with said viewing, we weren't in but the neighbours saw the agent knock then try to enter anyway - without permission. I later got a text saying that viewing had cancelled and moved to x date.
I'm fed up of it, we're so busy and this feels unreasonable. I understand they don't want the flat to be empty but would I be fair to say this isn't working and you can do viewings one day per week only, and with reasonable notice?
I cancelled an appointment last week to be in for them and they cancelled an hour before. This is still our home until we leave and I can't do five more weeks of this.
What would you do?
