 Topic: New house
Posted: 06 March 2009 at 8:43am |
So we have been competing with half of CHCH for a rental house for like 6 months now but keep getting the flick despite great references and offering more money.
Now for the forth time we have fallen in love with a house so I'm hoping we finally get a home we deserve! I'm so over all the disappointment. Our house now is great but the area is so dodgy, its like the ghetto of CHCH.
Anyhoo heres the house - Lisa's dream rental
Everyone cross your fingers for us. I'm giving up looking if we miss out on this one. We'll just have to stick it out in the hood and I'll have to carry a baseball bat every time I go out walking with the girls lol.

I have things crossed for you Lisa! I hope the landlords look at the girls and just decide that they must have the house!
When do you find out if you've got the house? Good price too

We don't get to view it until Monday and Jess is in New Plymouth so it will just be me  Ohhh I want it sooo bad. The lady was lovely but did admit she's had half of CHCH call up about it so our chances may be slim.

Man why has the rental market in Christchurch gone crazy?
Is it just that side of town that is in huge demand or is it all over Christchurch?
Fingers crossed for you Lisa I SO hope you get it!

Its everywhere! We've been looking for sooo long in every part of CHCH but because we are a family on one income I guess we seem like a risk to people renting even though Jess has a very safe job where he was promoted twice last year  Theres too many professional couples on 2 incomes that we have to compete with and its driving me nuts. I just want a nice home for my family.

That looks like great house! Though I would rather a young family to rent my house, to give them a chance! Good luck

Ditto MindyW, we are greatful to our landlord for that exact reason. Our house is going to be available soon, but you don't want kids there. Damp and dusty.
That house would be such an awesome lifestyle change Lisa, I have my fingers crossed for you! Take the twins - then she might be smitten lol

If your still looking in a few months time hopefully not then I promise you you can have first dibs on our house when we rent it out!
When did they say they will let you know?
I second taking the twins round to meet them - they will fall in love and not be able to turn you down

Our house may be rented out soon, we may be getting a transfer to Auckland (DH is in defence force), If it any consolation we would be happy to rent it put to a family like yours- Sorry we in Palmy though

My SIL is having similar problems, she owns her place in Linwood, but wants to move so my niece is zoned for Cashmere High School. She's a solo mum and isn't easy finding somewhere.
What part of Chch are you in now?

Maybe we should buy a house in Chch if there is such a rental shortage.
That is a nice house, and quite cheap too.
