Oooops! Sorry to hear that.

Still, I'm sure the landlord will fix it immediately and to a high standard.

Sorry, couldn't resist that. I really hope it works out for you.

sent agent photos and she assures me someone will be out today to fix it.

FFS does she think it'll take 5mins.

Also cant get the bloody remote control gates to open to get a van it Phoned estate agent, as cant open them manually either

Said she will get back to me, ...... valuable moving time wasted, so opting to go on BE for some RR
