Superb timing
I had a call from our landlady yesterday who announced that she was putting our flat on the market. Oh, bugger ... just when I'm settled in a flat I really like and when I'm about to leave the country for close to two months. Impeccable, no?

The valuers are scheduled to traipse through this Saturday morning, so I guess it's all systems go from that point on. Still, thanks to our excellent tenancy laws, we have 42 days grace from the day any sale goes unconditional before we'd have to vacate the premises, so that's something at least. I'm hoping for either (a) a lengthy period on the market or preferably (b), that any new owner would want to keep us on as tenants (plus we're in the bottom flat in a split level, which is a better position to be in than our poor upstairs neighbours I think). Fingers crossed!

"Did the landlady say why she was selling? Not that it determines in any way what your new landlord/landlady will do, but it will give you a little bit of information."

"No she didn't ... our property market's over-inflated at the moment, so it may be that they're looking to maximise their returns by getting out now!"

"That's just sod's law, isn't it? If my landlord said that there'd be hell to pay!!!!! Can they do that?!?! Did you not sign a tenancy agreement to keep you safe for (at least) 6 months? Maybe the rules are different over there to England!"
