house hunting......

My first experience of house hunting and what an absolute shambles. In the short term, we are looking to rent. I thought it would be quite simple but no. They are lots of properties available so today we thought we would go along to a viewing.

Having found the apartment (and quite nice it looked too) we queued with about 20 other people for the midday showing. The agent turned up but had the wrong set of keys. He said that he would be back at 3pm with the correct keys. So we walked for a few hours, had lunch and pitched up at 3pm. Only about 10 people showed so that was good. We waited a while and then discovered that he was not coming back after all. What a waste of time. Brad however (being experienced in Australian rentals) said this was quite normal and took our paperwork back to the agent to put in a note of interest.

Brad is now working so I am spending most of next week trailing round the flats looking for a suitable place to live! It is one way to get to know the city I suppose.....
