After a long time of doing that growing up thing, I have ripened enough and come to that age where I move out of my parents house. I believed it would be so much more easier than this. Little did I know … You can't live in a bouncy house (sad days!) sigh! my dream home ...
First of all I didn’t realise I had so many belongings from clothing to makeup to hair stuff to just general crap really. Theres so much of it ! aha Plus it dosent help that I have a growing mountain that is blackmilk clothing (but I can’t help that) and shoes you cannot forget the shoes! Iv been rummaging through my old stuff and selling what i don’t need or want. Im sad to see some of it go but I have to move on now.
To make enough money for the deposit (which is rent rent x30) blimey !! iv been working overtime. Working the shittist of hours to create some extra cash here and there! It tries you the fuck out ! But soon I shall be living the student life aha which is no different. Studying, partying, lectures, being social! ha!
But who knew how much money went into renting a property as you need the first months rent, the deposit plus any fees you may have to pay to the agency for referencing and looking at your credit history! You also need a good credit history too, so don’t get into dept just yet ;)!
From viewing some properties after only seeing one photo on websites such as Zoopla. Going to view these properties i had an open mind … Some of them are in the most atrocious state iv ever seen. They are dark, dingy and they smell like a cats died in them. I don’t know how people can live like that ??
Another thing we had to go through was rejection. Oh and boy did we get rejected!! As we are sharers some landlords don’t want to have to purchase a extra licence (even though they are given money to make it suitable for sharers by the council to put fire doors and alarms etc.. in) FOOLS!!
We applied for many houses filling in the application only to be rejected, which was so devastating for us all.
This one house which we all really loved and was suitable for every single one of our needs individually was our biggest let down. As we got through after putting our application through, which made us all relax and feel at ease for a while for that only to be thrown out the window by the landlord choosing another application after we paid the fees. Worst feeling ever! (they have offered to give us our money back due to it not being our fault). But phoning up and looking for a place to live leaves me feeling so awkward! I hate phone calls with people I don’t know (i think most people do).
Ill leave this on a funny note !
We went to view a few properties with this particular estate agents and the bloke they sent was in the wrong job! He shook our hand like a wet fish, he barley even was able to tell us what belonged with the house (if we even had a garage or not etc..) also at another house the tenants showed us around … the house was is such bad condition and the estate agents had been neglecting them that they just ripped into them ! black mould eww !!
