| Hello... Flagstone. |
| Oh hello. |
| Is that Flagstone Properties? |
| Yes that's right. |
| Flagstone here. How can I help you? |
| Hello. |
| I'm ringing just to make enquiries about renting a house. |
| My name's Jon Anderson. |
| Yes, Mr Anderson. |
| What sort of thing were you looking for? |
| Umm... Two-bedroomed house with garden. |
| Well... 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... |
| City centre... |
| And the north suburbs. |
| Oh well... |
| we were most interested in the Northern areas actually. |
| Right... yes... What sort of price were you thinking of? |
| Well... uh... could you give me some idea? |
| Certainly. |
| It really ranges from £250 per month. |
| Only £250? |
| Yes, to about £500 depending on a number of different factors. |
| Oh, what does it depend on? |
| Well, obviously the quality of the area. |
| And then whether there's a garden. |
| Well, as I said, we'd want a garden. |
| And a garage pushes up the price. |
| Right... |
| well, we wouldn't necessarily need one. |
| I think about £350 a month would be our limit. |
| Okay. |
| Well... would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir? |
| Yes, that'd be great. |
| Um... Looking at our files... I think we've got two which might suit you... |
| Hang on. I'll just get a pen. |
| Right. |
| Okay. Well, there's one on West Park Road |
| which is £325 a month. |
| Are the bills included? |
| Well, that one just includes the water bill. |
| Okay, right. |
| And the second house is in Tithe Road. |
| I'll just spell that for you, okay? |
| Yep. |
| TITHE Road. |
| Got that. |
| And how much is that one? |
| That's £380. |
| 380. |
| Uh... Is that including water? |
| No, I'm afraid not, but it does include the telephone rental. |
| Oh well, that's not too bad then. |
| So, when would you be available to see them? |
| Well, uh... I'll be in town next week... say... Thursday? |
| No, I'm sorry we don't have any availability for Thursday. |
| How about Wednesday afternoon? |
| Okay. That's fine. |
| Would 5 be okay? |
| Yes, fine. |
| 5 o'clock it is. |
| Just come to the Flagstone Offices. |
| Oh, before I forget. |
| What sort of things do I need to get done... to rent with you? |
| Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank... |
| No problem... |
| And then a reference letter from your employer. |
| Yes, that's okay. |
| Great, and then we would need you to give 2 weeks' notice of moving in... |
| Right... 2 weeks' notice. |
| And what about a deposit? |
| That's one month's rent, whatever the amount is. |
| Okay. One month. |
| Is that it? |
| No, sorry, one more... |
| you will have to pay for the contract. |
| Oh yes. I'd forgotten about that. |
| Okay, fine. |
| So I'll start arranging those. |
| I'll see you next week. |
| Yes. Thanks very much. |
| Bye. |
| Goodbye. |
