W
Woman
Hello, Flagstone.
M
Man
Oh, hello. Is that Flagstone Properties?
W
Woman
Yes, that's right. Flagstone here. How can I help you?
M
Man
Hello. I'm ringing just to make inquiries about renting a house. My name's John Anderson.
W
Woman
Yes, Mr. Anderson. What sort of thing were you looking for?
M
Man
Um, a two-bedroom house with a Garden.
W
Woman
Well, yes, sir. That shouldn't be any problem. Just to let you know that our main areas, the main areas we deal with are the city centre itself.
M
Man
City centre, huh?
W
Woman
And the north suburbs.
M
Man
Oh, well, we were most interested in the northern areas, actually.
W
Woman
Right. Yes. What sort of price were you thinking of?
M
Man
Well, could you give me some idea?
W
Woman
Certainly. It really ranges from £250 per month.
M
Man
Only £250?
W
Woman
Yes. To about £500, depending on a number of different factors.
M
Man
Oh, what does it depend on?
W
Woman
Well, obviously, the quality of the area and then whether there's a garden.
M
Man
Oh, well, as I said, we'd want a garden.
W
Woman
And a garage pushes up the price.
M
Man
Right. Well, we wouldn't necessarily need one. I think about £350 a month would be our limit.
W
Woman
Okay. Well, would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir?
M
Man
Yes, that would be great.
W
Woman
Um, looking at our files, I think we've got two which might suit you.
M
Man
Oh, hang on. I'll just get a pen. Er, right.
W
Woman
Okay. Well, there's one on West Park Road, which is £325 a month.
M
Man
Are the bills included?
W
Woman
Well, that one just includes the water bill.
M
Man
Okay. Right.
W
Woman
And the second house is in Tithe Road. I'll just spell that for you, okay?
M
Man
Yep.
W
Woman
T-I-T-H-E Road.
M
Man
Yeah, got that. And how much is that one?
W
Woman
That's £380.
M
Man
£380. Er, is that including water?
W
Woman
No, I'm afraid not, but it does include the telephone rental.
M
Man
Oh, well. That's not too bad, then.
W
Woman
So when would you be available to see them?
M
Man
Well, I'll be in town next week, say Thursday.
W
Woman
No, I'm sorry we don't have any availability for Thursday. How about Wednesday afternoon?
M
Man
Ah, okay. Ah, that's fine. Would five be okay?
W
Woman
Yes, fine. Five o'clock it is. Just come to the flagstone offices.
M
Man
Oh, before I forget, what sort of things do I need to get done? Er, to rent with you.
W
Woman
Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank.
M
Man
No problem.
W
Woman
And then a reference letter from your employer.
M
Man
Yes, that's okay.
W
Woman
Great. And then we would need you to give two weeks' notice of moving in.
M
Man
Right. Two weeks' notice. And what about a deposit?
W
Woman
That's one month's rent. Whatever the amount is.
M
Man
Okay. One month. Is that it?
W
Woman
No, sorry. One more. You will have to pay for the contract.
M
Man
Oh, yes. I've forgotten about that. Okay, fine. So I'll start arranging those.
W
Woman
And I'll see you next week.
M
Man
Yes. Thanks very much. Bye.
W
Woman
Goodbye.
