Hatton Gardens

Housing wise today was absolutely nutty.

First we were supposed to view a place at Marchmont Street, but 30 minutes to 4pm the agent rang me and told me that at the last minute, the tenant was unable to let us see the flat. Then 20 minutes to 4pm, another agent rang me regarding a property I inquired about on Herbrand Street and we arranged to meet there at 4:10pm.

We viewed the property (£475, bit on the small side, but good location) and then the agent told us that he was going to see another place at Hatton Gardens, £485 and asked us if we wanted to see it. With a bit of apprehension at the thought of a random place, we hopped into his car (he drove us there! Now that is a good agent) and saw the place. It was not mindblowing if you glanced at it, but really good considering the size of rooms, location and that heating bills were included. The 3 of us all liked it a lot, plus the three girls that stayed there were all from LSE and we managed to talk about the place and they were all 'It's really great/we stayed here for 2 years/It's 10 minutes walk to LSE'.

Then the next 3 people came to view the place and we were outside, all anxious that they might decide to take the place first - talking about how much we liked the place. Later as the agent started to leave (and drive us back to the first flat area) we saw the other clients and they turned out to be Rufus, Dexter and Jason -_____- we all laughed like crazy, because it was all so silly. It was then that we decided on the spot to sign the tenancy, which needed a holding deposit of a week's rent - flash forward to me dashing back to Passfield to transfer money into my current account from my savings because we could only draw £200 each time with each card.

So there it is, my new place at Hatton Gardens - jewellery shops below, a playground behind and big single rooms. I am really excited for next year, I shall buy a cheap carpet from Ikea and get random other things. Phwoahhhh :D
