Dear Estate Agents: if you are supposed to be carrying out a valuation on a property, and you make an appointment with the current tenants to come and do this, and then don’t turn up for the appointment without calling to apologise or explain, then it is possible, just possible, that waiting A WEEK to bother to phone the tenant to make another arrangement/apologise, might result in the tenant (who probably went out of his way to be available at the time of the original appointment) not being terribly happy about it.
I’m just saying, is all.
[Note to anyone I know: the flat that hasn’t been recently valued is due to be overrun tomorrow with women performing some bizarre American ritual they’re calling “a baby shower”. As such, I will be spending most of the afternoon in our local pub with a copy of the Independent and one or more pints of bitter. Please come and join me/rescue me from the dark unpleasantness of an afternoon in my own company. Thanks.]
