Steph01 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi everyone, brace yourself for the moan off! Lol ! :arghh: Finally got a job and now looking for a place to live either in Manly or Cronulla. However, most viewings for places are always on a week day! What a pain in the butt if you are working, which I presume they want you to be so you can pay the rent! I've missed out on so many places because I just can't get there on a week day. How is everyone else managing it? Tried calling them to make alternative arrangements but they are not interested, especially in Manly they already have more than enough people fighting over apartments there! Rant over, thanks for listening. Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Open houses are usually Wednesday and Saturday, have you been missing the Saturday ones somehow? Sometimes you can go for private viewings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph01 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 No, I've not been missing the Saturdays they've just been deciding to hold a lot of them on a Wednesday. The agents told me that they are getting more than enough people on a Wednesday that they don't need to do a Saturday, especially when that's a day they are not normally open. I've also tried getting private viewings but no joy. I'm sure I'll get lucky somewhere along the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmoyne Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Feeling your frustration, but there is nothing you can do except take the time off work to attend the viewing. Or look for a flat in another area that isn't so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Que Sera Sera Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Do you have a partner? I went and looked at ours and they gave me a private viewing, my OH was working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would therefore take a day off and get a few lined up at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon4017 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I would therefore take a day off and get a few lined up at once. Sage advice, but it's not going to be easy when the areas he's interested in are quite far apart. Probably wise to get some kind of pack together with bank references and so on. If they've got as many application as they say then you could miss out due to posting latency. I wouldn't want to take 1 day off for the viewing then another day off to bring the app form to the REA in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
