mr luvpants Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Guys I am going to be really, really cheeky and ask a big, big favour! We are coming to Brisbane on the 15th October for a week. My In laws are coming with us and my MIL definitely wants to follow us to oz and my FIL definitely doesn't want to! But they have decided to come with us on our reccie to have a look so it needs to be right so that we can convince him. We have found a lovely apartment on the beach but have come across a problem. We don't land till 1950 and by the time we have got out of the airport, got the hire car and drove to Redcliffe it is going to be midnightish.The agent has no facilities for collecting keys that late at night. I am asking if anyone can be a little darling and pick the keys up for us during the day and we come and pick them up from your home??? I know it is really cheeky but in return we can bring whatever food items that you are missing from the uk. Unless someone has a better idea?

Guest cantwait Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hi John Can't help but I'm bumping you up in case some kind soul will do it for you. Can you ask the agents to leave the keys at a 24 hour convenience store? This is what our agents did last year when we went and didn't arrive until 11.30pm. Good luck Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kdal Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Bumping you back up I do have a cousin that lives around this area, but dont really keep in touch with him as he has no email or any communication apart from letter lol I could give his address and maybe the agents could drop the keys to him?

Guest Pinhead Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just check into a hotel for the night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr luvpants Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Panic over! I have just been in contact with another EA and they sent me this: We have a restaurant beside our office that is open late but may not be open until midnight. The best thing we can do is leave the keys in the letterbox at the property. So our money will go else where! thanks anyway. JOHN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
