So this is in relation to a rental property, that was up with a high end agent. The agent was snobby on the viewing and almost disdainful about us viewing the property (we would pass all financial checks).
We put in an application to rent the property but the landlord chose someone else. That's how it goes sometimes, so we moved on.
Anyways, as it happened, we got chatting to an old friend of ours who mentioned their father in law owned a flat in the area we were looking, and was renting it out shortly. She text her father in law about it, but turns out he had already rented the property a while back. It turned out. that it was the very flat that we had put in an offer to rent! But, he claims that the estate agent didn't tell him about our offer, and only mentioned the other three offers!
Now obviously he would say this, but apparently he said that from what his d-i-l told him about us, that we would have been perfect. The only real difference between us and the other couples was our background and age. I did think it strange that the estate agent asked us our age during the viewing.
