Like there isn't enough going on in my life right now I've decided I should move!!

When I moved in here (27th May 2009) there was a leak at one of my windows. It took about 6-8 weeks for it to be fixed and at no point did anyone even come into my flat to look at the problem, I was told that is was the guttering and let me tell you that not a week went past where I was not asking for an update and all I kept getting told from my agent was the landlord was waiting for his roofer chap to have a look.

Well almost 4 weeks ago it started dripping again. Again no one has been to have a look I've just been told that it'll be the guttering and the landlord is waiting for his roofer chap to have a look (and I'm sick of hearing this!). Last week I'd had enough, rang the CAB and as I'd never actually put it in writing what the problem is then they suggested I do that first and take some pictures of the window etc. They also told me that my landlord might not take too kindly to a letter and he might want to end my tenancy!!! The cheek!!!

Anyhow, the drip is still dripping and it's driving me mad!!! Been to see 6 different flats of the last 2 days but I'm not rushing! No way do I want to end up with a problem like I have now and I've also decided to go with a well know estate agency next time instead of a two bit company.

The two I viewed yesterday were both one bed second floor flats in a small 1960 build block. They didn't look like much on the outside but weren't too bad on the inside and each of them had a teeny tiny balcony that would be nice to sit out on in summer with a glass of wine and a book! Went to see two this morning that used to be 2 semi detatched houses. Both house have been converted into two one bed flats. From the outside the place looked really nice and the price was not too bad but they were just a little on the small side on the inside (and the rear garden was very overgrown and not nice to look at). This afternoon I ended up at some place that is charity run and only accepts single occupants into the properties. The first was in a big old house which turned out to be a bed sit, not exactly what I'm looking for. The second was in a small block next to the house which turned out to be quitre similar to where I am now, only a bit smaller.

I've spent the last couple of hours trawling the pages on the internet looking for some more and I'm already booked in to see a couple more on friday, but no rush, I'm not rushing into anything this time.
