Estate agents

The past 24hrs have been quite stressful. I have had to see 11 estate agents, discussing the possibility of renting out my house and all the other things that surround that.
I never new that renting out a property in the UK is so stressful. Your house has to comply with so many regulations and if you are leaving the house furnished, things like you sofa and bed have to have a fire safety certificate or tag from the manufacturers. There are tax exempt forms to fill ass well as notifying your mortgage lender and insurance companies.

On top of all that, you have the estate agents fees to deal with. These guys are criminals, ready to rinse you of your money if you let them without having the liability for anything. They charge you a commission on the rental value every month for the priviledge of "managing" your property. They in fact will be doing nothing!
