Hi,

Pets are allowed. I am renting the whole apartment for GBP800 per month. I am asking for 1 month's rent payment plus 1 month as security deposit, the 1 month are for the 1st and the deposit will be returned at the end of the lease. So, it's a total of GBP1600.

Hi,
Thanks for all that info and the picture. Is it possible to arrange a viewing?
Hi again,
Just a few more info. Equal size-2 bedrooms/1 bathroom, 240 sq. ft., washer/dryer in unit, A/C, dishwasher, parking--1 spot included in the rent, safe neighborhood, nice neighbors, very quiet, no noise, close to transportation and everything else. It's fully furnished, but i can rent it unfurnished also, same price if unfurnished, will use a moving company. As i said, pets are allowed. Building has maintenance-included in the price. The lenght of the lease is flexible: long/short term. I have to tell you that i am in Athens, Greece, i am here with a job contract for 5 years, i am in my first year now, i come to London every 7-8 months for 3 or 4 days and if you rent the apartment i will stay to a hotel. Please tell me a little about yourself, also i want to ask if you smoke, if you do in case we finalise this i would have to ask you not to smoke inside, i think it's better for you to know this from the beginnning. I am not dealing with anyone at the moment because i didn't answer to all the e-mails that came into my e-mail address due to lack of time. I don't know how else to do this since i have noone there who i might send the keys to and show you the apartment and i am the only one who has the keys, so, if you want to see the apartment i would need your address where the keys to be fedex-overnight to you and we will talk about the payment process for the GBP1600 and about the other details after viewing, if there is somethig else that you want to know please feel free to ask.
Thank you.
George
Ok. I would prefer to know the payment details before anything else please? If you are going to fedex me the keys then it would be best so send them to my work address.
am having second thoughts, i am not feeling comfortable sending you the keys, sorry, nothing personal. I thought that doing it in person and to meet eachother is more secure for both. I would like you to show good faith that you have the money and that you are a serios tenant and my proposal for you is to wire the GBP1600 to a familly mamber or to a friend of yours via money gram, then e-mail me the receipt that money gram will give you to see it myself and to get a confirmation from money gram that the transaction took place and that indeed the money is there on your friends/relatives name, i would feel more comfortable knowing that you have the money and you are a serious tenant. After i get the confirmation from money gram you can take your money back from them and i will fly out to London to meet you and show you the apartment myself and if you like it to make the lease etc etc. When you make the money gram transfer deduct the fees from the GBP1600. We will meet there and show you the apartment, if you don't like it i will give you the money for the money gram fees back. If you like the apartment you pay me, we sign the lease, i will let the keys to you and you can move there.

Thank you
P.S. Maybe you don't know what money gram is, money gram is the fastest way to send money all over the world and they have 1000s of agencies all over the world. You have to know that for making a money gram transfer you need cash and to go in person with the cash to a money gram location and make the transfer, you have to have your IDs with you. That's why i choose money gram and i think that this is best to make proof of funds in my opinion.
SCAM. No thanks.
