Tuesday

We went off to look at another property today, which ended up being an utter waste of time.

We arrived to find the agent waiting for us, then proceeded to the front door. The agent told us the tenant should be in, but we received no answer when the doorbell rang.

A small girl opened the soaking wet window to inform us her parents weren't home. The agent called them, but again got no response.

He then told us that we'd have to leave for now, and rearrange the viewing.

Well, clearly the tenants aren't going to be easy to deal with and there's a decent chance the property was in a bad state so we won't bother.

During all of this, a painter was struggling to get the attention of the elderly woman living next door. He was supposed to be working on her house and was growing concerned. Another neighbour joined him shortly to make some calls. Hope she's ok.
