I hate the waiting…

The cambridge property market is insane!

The property we went to see on monday has already been let. It was taken off the website this morning. There was another, identical, property that was listed yesterday. We went to see that one too to see if the view was better. Since I'd noticed that the one we were interested in had already been taken, we'd filled in all the forms, gotten a reference from the HR people at work and brought our checkbook.

At the time of writing this, there are at least 2 offers on the table, ours and another dudes. As we were leaving, I think that somebody else was also there to see it. What really pisses us off is that the agent was running late and the first dude visited the apartment with us. He stayed behind to fill in the forms and pay the fee because he saw us leave all the kit to the agent. If she'd been on time, I don't think he'd have made an offer today. Damn…

Anyway, I think the odds are in our favour (unless the oily little bugger of a man bribes the agent). We're a professional couple that both work within 5 minutes of the flat. He's a single parent who just wants a weekend place to have his kids around.

We should have an answer by the end of the day.

Edit: Damn! Shit! Crap! POOOOOO!

We didn't get it. The landlord went with the other dude. Fucker.
