Foxtons

April 10, 2007

Monday:
Foxtons: Hi Lisa, just calling to let you know we don’t have any properties to sell to you but we will call you as soon as we get something.
Me: Thanks.


Tuesday
:
Foxtons: Hi Lisa we have a great flat for you. It’s got a garden, a garage one bedroom and a fantastic..
Me: one bedroom? We are looking for two bedrooms (which they already knew of course).
Foxtons: are you sure you want two bedrooms and not one?
Me: Yes. Bye.


Thursday
:
Foxtons: Hi Lisa we have just got a new property on the market. It’s a 2-bed, garden, garage, open plan kitchen, newly refurbished. When can I book you for a viewing?
Me: Sounds great. We will need to see some photos before we know if we want to view the property or not as it is a bit of a travel for us to get there.
Foxtons: no problem. I will email some photos to you now. When can I book you for a viewing?
Me: we are not home at the moment. I’ll let you know after I’ve seen the photos, if we would like to view it or not.
Foxtons: great, a viewing in the beginning of next week then.

It is due to be refurbished this year. I hope that we can arrange a viewing.

No offence to the people living in the building but is someone planning to bomb it and then build a new building on the site? If that is the case I would probably be interested in a viewing, but not before.

FYI: £250 000 = 3,5 miljoner kronor
