Below is the details of the flat before we proceed.

Please, i want you to note that i am a kind and honest person,also i
spent a lot of money on my property that i want to rent out. Am
soliciting for your absolute maintenance of this Flat and want you to
treat it as your own,I hope you understand that!!.I want you to keep
it clean and tidy always and I will be glad if you are able to fulfill
that at the end of your stay in my flat,that is the reason i decided
making the rent affordable..

Can you kindly answer these following questions:

Hi,

The flat is available and you can secure to move in 1st of June.
I would like to ask if you are moving in with any pets?


Like i said, i am currently based in Manchester for work and before i can come all the way from Manchester i have to be sure about your willingness and financial capability in paying the move in fee on same day, as i will like a situation whereby everything can be finalized on the same day i come to London for the viewing and handing over of keys.

Therefore i require that you review the tenancy agreement form, if the tenancy terms are okay you will be required to pay holding deposit of 3 weeks rent in the sum of £525 payable by bank to bank transfer to ensure easy refund if you decide not to take the flat after inspecting it, once the holding deposit is transferred and confirmed, we can schedule a convenient time to meet and inspect the flat.

Note that if there is any changes in taking the flat after viewing, you will be refunded back your 3 weeks rent deposit which you have paid as stated in the tenancy agreement and upon agreeing to take the flat after inspection, the remaining move in fee has to be paid in cash or bank transfer before moving into the flat.

Attached is the copy of tenancy agreement , let me know if the terms are okay so we can proceed.

Regards,
Mr.Mawson
