Last week the letting agent we used when we moved emailed us out of the blue asking if we were considering moving, or even buying. Sure enough my landlady called last night to say she is looking to take vacant possession of our flat in June when our tenancy expires. As we were underpaying on the rental value (flat next door was on for £400pcm more last year) there's no chance we can afford to live in Dartmouth Park again as rental market seems to have definitely moved on and gf took a big wage hit last year which also killed off our hopes of buying. Might have to consider flat sharing again, which will definitely be weird after having our own place for last four years. In that time we haven't exactly had much luck renting together. Our first flat was also sold by landlord and our second landlord threatened to stab me, so needless to say that tenancy didn't last long.
