Answers For Flagstone propeties

JANICE:

Hello ... Flagstone.

JON:

Oh hello; is that Flagstone Properties?

JANICE:

Yes, that's right. Flagstone here. How can I help you?

JON:

Hello. I’m ringing just to make enquiries about renting a house. My name’s Jon Anderson.

JANICE:

Yes, Mr Anderson. What sort of thing were you looking for?

JON:

Two-bedroomed house with garden.

JANICE:

1Well. .. yes, sir, that shouldn’t be any problem ... just to let you know that our main areas, the main areas we deal with, are the city centre itself...

JON:

City center ... uh-huh.

JANICE:

And the north suburbs.

JON:

Oh well... we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.

JANICE:

Right... yes... What sort of price were you thinking of?

JON:

Well... could you give me some ideas?

JANICE:

Certainly. 2It really ranges from £250 per month.

JON:

Only £250?

JANICE:

3Yes, to about £500 depending on a number of different factors.

JON:

What does it depend on?

JANICE:

Well, obviously the quality of the area. And then whether there’s a garden.

JON:

Well, as I said, we’d want a garden.

JANICE:

And a garage pushes up the price.

JON:

Right... Well, we wouldn’t necessarily need one. I think about £350 a month would be our limit.

JANICE:

OK. Well... would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir?

JON:

Yes, that’d be great.

JANICE:

Looking at our files ... I think we’ve got two which might suit you ...

JON:

Hang on. I’ll just get a pen. Right.

JANICE:

4OK. Well, there’s one on West Park Road which is £325 a month.

JON:

Are the bills included?

JANICE:

5Well, that one just includes the water bill.

JON:

OK, right.

JANICE:

6And the second house is on Tithe Road. I’ll just spell that for you ... OK?

JON:

T-I-T-H-E Road.

JANICE:

Got that. And how much is that one?

JON:

6That’s £380.

JANICE:

380. Is that including water?

JON:

6No, I’m afraid not, but it does include the telephone rental.

JANICE:

Oh well, that’s not too bad then. So, ...

JANICE:

So, when would you be available to see them?

JON:

Well, I’ll be in town next week... say... Thursday?

JANICE:

No, I’m sorry we don’t have any availability for Thursday. 7How about Wednesday afternoon?

JON:

7OK. That’s fine. Would 5.00 be OK?

JANICE:

Yes, fine. 5.00 it is. Just come to the Flagstone Offices.

JON:

Oh, before I forget. What sort of things do I need to get done... to rent with you?

JANICE:

Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank...

JON:

No problem...

JANICE:

8And then a reference letter from your employer.

JON:

Yes, that’s OK.

JANICE:

9Great, and then we would need you to give 2 weeks’ notice of moving in...

JON:

10Right... 2 weeks’ notice. And what about a deposit?

JANICE:

10That’s one month’s rent, whatever the amount is.

JON:

OK. One month. Is that it?

JANICE:

No, sorry, one more... you will have to pay for the contract.

JON:

Oh yes. I’d forgotten about that. OK, fine. So I’ll start arranging those, and I’ll...

JANICE:

... I’ll see you next week.

JON:

Yes. Thanks very much. Bye.

JANICE:

Goodbye.
