Section three. You hear a discussion between a couple and a real estate agent. First, you have
0:10
S… Speaker 4 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
some time to look at questions 21 to 25. Now, listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
0:43
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Now, this first property I'm going to show you will be ready for letting in about two weeks.
0:49
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
It's on the market for £1,500 per calendar month, but the landlord is open to offers.
0:56
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
If after the viewing you think you might be interested, might I suggest that you make
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
an offer? However, as a property like this won't stay on the market for very long.
1:07
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
My first impressions are good, I have to say. I like the location. It seems to be a quiet
1:13
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
residential area, and the proximity to the common is advantageous, as we like to go for
1:19
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
walks together in the evening. What do you think, Becca?
1:22
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
It does look rather impressive, Nick.
1:25
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Let's go inside, shall we? Now, as you can see, the front door opens into this lovely,
1:33
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
spacious reception room where you can welcome guests. Let me lead you into the kitchen area,
1:39
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
which is just through here.
1:41
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
I know I've asked you this already, but I just want to make sure that the furniture
1:46
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
stays, correct?
1:47
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Yes. Everything you see here will remain on the property. The only things the landlord is
1:53
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
taking with him are his television and DVD player.
1:57
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Why is he vacating such a lovely flat as this?
2:00
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
He and his wife have just had their first child, and they felt it was time to look for somewhere
2:06
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
more spacious, which can accommodate a family more comfortably. They've just purchased a
2:12
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
three-bed house in one of the city's suburbs, but they were eager to hold on to this property
2:17
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
too, which is why they've decided to let it out. They now look at their old home as an investment
2:23
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
proposition.
2:24
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Very sensible. The size of the kitchen is something I have a little bit of an issue with, though.
2:31
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
After all, while there are plenty of counters and workspaces, there isn't a kitchen table
2:36
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
or anywhere to eat.
2:38
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
True, but come through here, and you'll find a very generous dining area.
2:45
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Wow, this is roomy. We could definitely entertain here, Nick. Do you mind if we view the bedroom
2:50
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
and bathroom next?
2:52
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Of course. This way. Here's the master bedroom. There's a small room off to the side there
2:58
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
that could arguably be used as a second bedroom, but I think the lack of space makes it better
3:04
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
suited to acting as an office. Your ensuite bathroom is through here.
3:09
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
It looks very modern. Has it been recently decorated?
3:13
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Better than that. In fact, the bathroom is completely new. It was only fitted last week.
3:20
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
The house has also been given a professional clean, and all of the rooms were redecorated
3:26
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
after the landlord moved out.
3:29
S… Speaker 4 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to
3:35
S… Speaker 4 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
30. Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
4:05
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
You can probably tell we like it.
4:08
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
I'm glad to hear.
4:09
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
But now let's get down to business. It's on the market at 1,500, you said, right?
4:15
S… Speaker 6 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Right.
4:16
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Well, realistically, what do you think the landlord would be willing to accept?
4:21
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
I would say offers over 1,400.
4:24
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Well, I'm not prepared to offer that. I'll make an initial offer of 1,200, and if that
4:31
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
is rejected, I may consider offering my offer by 100 pounds, but that's as high as I'll go.
4:38
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
As you wish. You are happy with an initial contract of 12 months, I presume?
4:43
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Yes, assuming there's a break clause after 6.
4:47
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
That's no problem. The standard contract allows you to give two months' notice that you will
4:52
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
vacate the flat from the fourth month onwards, effectively. You can vacate any time after
4:58
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
the sixth month, provided you give the proper notice in advance.
5:02
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
All sounds good. So, what happens next?
5:05
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
I will put your offer to the landlord, and if he accepts it, you'll be asked to put down
5:10
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
a holding deposit of 500 pounds to take the property off the market. Then, assuming your
5:17
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
reference and credit checks come back okay, we can sign the letting agreement and get you
5:22
S… Speaker 5 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
moved in.
5:23
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Before you sign the contract, though, on top of the 500 pound holding deposit, you will have to put
5:29
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
down a further four weeks' rent in payment of the full bond deposit, as well as fronting up your
5:36
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
first month's rent in advance.
5:38
S… Speaker 2 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
What about your fees?
5:40
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
We charge 120 pounds per person to cover our administrative costs and reference checking.
5:47
S… Speaker 1 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
So, times that by two, and that's what you will have to pay me.
5:52
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
Okay. Well, thank you. We'll need a couple of hours to think it over, but we'll give you a call
5:58
S… Speaker 3 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
as soon as we decide one way or the other.
6:01
S… Speaker 4 (40 - TEST 10 Section 3-)
That's the end of Section 3. You have half a minute to check your answers. Now turn to Section 4.
