Organizing the Viewing

A little more on organizing flat viewings, based on the mistakes I made:

-Always call before the viewing, confirm the address, and ask questions that are deal-breakers on the phone. Are you not going to take the flat if there's not enough wardrobe space? Then don't bother going. Taking the underground is expensive and much more exhausting than you'd think.

-Confirm the interview on the day- they're showing tens of people around a week, they will lose track.

-Ask if it's a basement flat on the phone- the ones in the best locations sometimes are buried inside- which is why it seems you can afford it.

-Walk. Central London is tiny. The tube map makes it seem much larger than it is- stations are built minutes away from each other, for some reason I still haven't managed to fathom. ESPECIALLY if it involves switching lines- you'll end up walking the same distance underground anyway.
