There is a first time for everyone. Normally though, the first experience would come at a much earlier age. Mine was today, a little late being that I'm approaching the big three O very soon. My very first house viewing experience. Yeah, I'm dead serious in moving out from where I'm staying now and living out on my own.
Luckily, my first viewing was accompanied with my good dear friend. She is not a pro in this, yet she seasoned enough to ask and to understand what was being said and needed to be explained by the house agent. I certainly am lucky to have such a great supporter like her. Thank you, so very much.
The place itself is actually not a house, but an apartment. The unit isn't that big, yet I think the space is big enough for the two of us to stay comfortably. There are three rooms in the unit, of which one is a master room with an attached bathroom. The other remaining two rooms were not big but perhaps just nice in size for a single person to have her privacy. There is a common bathroom outside.
Kitchen was very bare, with just the sink provided. In fact, the whole unit is quite bare. Apart from power points and 2 ceiling fans provided, one each in the living room and master room respectively, there is nothing else provided. Bare minimum. The laundry area is at the back of the kitchen. Bare as it is, the condition of the unit, is quite good and surprisingly clean. However, I still think the asking rental is a little high, at least for the two of us. The agent has, however, said, the owner is set that the quoted price is un-negotiable.
I quite like the environment of the apartment. I could feel the quietness and serenity on a sunday afternoon. There weren't too much noise made, nor heard. If I was not mistaken, there are about 5 blocks in that area, all built on the hillside. There a little pool, big enough for you to swim a few laps for to relax and also a little playground for the children. Nothing fancy. It's really a promising place, stop short of the rental.
The agent was also a nice person. It was a she, middle-aged, and had decided to wear a blazing red shirt today. She looked decent and professional enough to know what's going on in her field. Too bad, she isn't the owner. Would be great to be able to deal straight with the owner though. Perhaps, we might just be able to get a little discount.
Anyhow, I'm not losing hope. If there are no better options, both in terms of price and environment, then I guess I do have to burnt a little more that I had budgeted. I guess, this is life, on your own, by yourself. You decide and make do with the best after choosing your decision. Good luck, gal!
