It doesn't seem to make any financial sense does it.<BR/><BR/>Vanessa, <BR/> We think (hope) the person we spoke to originally wasn't sure what he was talking about, so i'm going to talk to the Head Honcho from the Agents this afternoon. I think if we can get past the Agents the landlord may be a lot more flexible. <BR/>We also have some support from the council, who are on stand-by should we need them.Simon Keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026040394346670345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159946864890651879.post-2374571077047387342007-10-12T10:08:00.000+01:002007-10-12T10:08:00.000+01:00Our agent was a nightmare and I think he was tryin...Our agent was a nightmare and I think he was trying to get the deal called off for his own ends. When trying to put pressure on us he said that there was another potential purchaser ready to proceed and I can't help but think that that was a mate with a brown envelope... But I'm a cynical old whatsit!<BR/><BR/>Is there a way you can find out who the owner is?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202371837109856183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159946864890651879.post-62604235837653226532007-10-12T09:08:00.000+01:002007-10-12T09:08:00.000+01:00I cannot believe that a landlord would say no to r...I cannot believe that a landlord would say no to rental income... especially when the shop, at present, is empty thus generating no income!<BR/><BR/>Who is that estate agent - Sprockett, Smythe & Sylvester?

It depends on getting past the Estate Agents.<BR/> I assume by the second sentence of your message, you and George are having a fun time moving.<BR/><BR/>Emma, <BR/>we're far from down-hearted. And it's messages of support like yours that keep us as buoyant as we are. <BR/>Thanks for the Dylan site it looks great (although when I sent a message to myself, my hotmail refused to let me read it!)Simon Keyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026040394346670345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159946864890651879.post-23273307302804354382007-10-11T15:55:00.000+01:002007-10-11T15:55:00.000+01:00How ridiculous!
