So I went to take a second look at a flat yesterday, and it looked okay. I saw the landlord, who seems like a nice guy, and we had a chat about a few odds and ends. I shook hands with him on a tentative offer of 800 a month, which he said he'd be happy with but I'd have to put it through the agency who'd put us in touch.
I rang the agency and put the offer, and they rang back while I was on the tube and left me a message. The message said the offer was accepted, but as I'm not looking to move in until the 5th of June and the flat is going to be ready from the start of next week, they suggest that I pay 50% of the rent for the next month to 'hold' the property.
