My daughter and her friend wanted to rent a flat together. They found a flat they liked and it was in hands of property letting agents.
We foned and were told to go down with £20 deposit and photo identification to get keys and go view it which we did.
My daughter and her pal wanted the flat so were given applications and told to hand them back with 2 previous wage slips and also reference from employers with the deposit money and as soon as that was done the lady would then stop all viewings on the property until they checked out the paperwork.
We were told that my daughter would get keys today because no one else was showing interest in the flat anyways and it only takes 3 days to check things out.
Anyways, we foned today and were told that the owner has decided to show 2 more viewers around the flat today so the application for my daughter and her pal was put on hold until they heard back from the owner.
I reminded the lady that she said the viewings would be stopped wen we put in deposit and also that if the property was in her companies hands, how can the owner come along and change things to suit himself after my daughter and her pal had done everythin right and were basically under the impression they had the flat as of today..... She told me she had to wait on call from the owner tomorrow to see wat he has decided but my daughter is heartbroken now and had expected to be in her new flat by end of weekend......
Can they do this?..... I thought if it was in property agents hands they couldnt change things?... Also, if he did show others around the flat, my daughter and pal had their application in first so surely they have the first offer on it coz apparently it takes 3 days to check applications so my daughters is basically done but because owner has decided to change things, my daughter may lose out after basically bein led to believe it would be hers.
Is there anything we can do if they dont give my daughter the flat coz the letting agent lady said she checked the applications and everythin was fine till the owner foned her.
Surely he cant do that after placin it in property agents
All help and advice much appreciated on this....thanx
