£89pw room to rent in SHARED 3 bedroom City Centre double-glazed flat, Samsung HD TV, LG WashMachine

Description

You MUST read CAREFULLY *right to the BOTTOM* of this advert on a LARGE screen (not skimming on a Mobile) *BEFORE* phoning or emailing so you do not waste your money and our time !!!

A clean, tidy and hygienic NON-SMOKER to SHARE a large (1215 square feet/113 square metres), fully furnished, three bedroom flat with a large lounge and dining kitchen in Glasgow's city centre on the top floor of a mouldering 1856 tenement in G2 4NB.

The small double bedroom that is available immediately for a licence fee of just £69.23p per week measures about 14 feet by 11 feet, with an 11 feet high ceiling and fitted carpet; a desk and chair; one large shelving unit; one large, mirrored, fitted wardrobe. Its radiator has a “Tado” Internet controllable thermostatic valve. The large “tilt and turn” window is double glazed to keep out the noise of the nightlife of nearby Sauchiehall Street.
It is not en-suite but the small, shared bathroom (with gold plated heated towel rail; plenty of mirrored storage; bath shower over bath; WC and wash hand basin) is just opposite.

Your home will be right in the heart of Glasgow city centre and buses X1, N2, 2, 3, 4, 4A, 15, 17, 18, X77, X78 and 77 (to the Airport and Braehead Shopping Centre) stop in Bath Street, Sauchiehall Street and Saint Vincent Street, just metres from your front door.
You will share all of this large and warm flat with graduates who are often outwith Scotland for extended periods and have EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE use of only ONE of the three furnished bedrooms with a double bed.

The WEEKLY total licence fee of less than £89.01p has been set very low for the city centre of Glasgow so we can be rather choosy.
(Weekly total is payable by bankers standing orders weekly in advance - NOT monthly in arrears.)

Obviously, you will have to pay your fair share of the utilities bill each quarter too. In years past, that has averaged £7 to £20 per week (averaged out over the course of a year) for each person.
(For those new to a non-tropical region like Scotland, winters are typically more expensive for heating than during what is laughingly called a Glasgow summer.
Clearly how much gas and electricity you use is partly within your personal control since it is really a lifestyle thing.
If you take three long showers each day and a bath, regularly like to heat your room to tropical levels while wandering around in your shirtsleeves with the windows open for fresh air in the depths of a Scottish winter and operate take-away food and battery charging businesses on the side, your bills will be much larger than if you are a more typical Scot ! )
That said, all of the windows in this large flat are double glazed, “tilt and turn” windows, each radiator has thermostatic valves, there is a programmable heating timer, and the gas combi-boiler for the central heating (GCH) is a modern, condensing type.

There is no deposit - but we do not really want anyone who is insolvent and can not afford to pay the performance surety of £1000 BEFORE they get the keys to their new home - nor someone just looking for a short-term rental of less than six months or so.
The performance surety of £1000 will be refunded (without interest) within seven days of finally leaving the flat if, and only if, you perform ALL of your obligations that you agree to in the written missives - such as paying the weekly rent by bankers standing order on time, not smoking or disturbing neighbours, paying your fair share of the utilities bill quarterly and causing no nuisance to the neighbours.
Let me spell that out for those dumbed down by social media who only skim written material and do not read carefully and conscientiously:
This is a very cheap room bang in the centre of Glasgow that will turn out to be a very expensive proposition for scofflaws, malefactors and rule breakers who cannot stick to and observe agreements they make!
The maximum stay would probably be about 12 years (ie the actuarially probable life span of the non-smoking, teetotal attorney before he was diagnosed with cancer).

This flat has polished, maple wood flooring in the bathroom, reception hallway, kitchen and largest bedroom. There is no lift so you can probably cancel your gym subscription!

The large (16 feet by 13 feet) dining kitchen has a big American-style fridge freezer with ice maker; 12 kilogram load LG Thinq Internet controlled washing machine large enough to wash a duvet; double fan oven cooker with ceramic hob; 12 litre air Fryer; table and four dining chairs; pantry; all utensils and plenty of storage, etc. There is a traditional pulley-lifted drying frame hanging from the 12 foot high ceiling.

The very large (19 feet by 14 feet) living room has a marble fireplace, dirty fitted carpet and a 49 inch Samsung Smart 4K Ultra HD TV with HDR and three leather sofas and desk.

The reception hallway (12 feet by 15 feet) has a bed settee and two coffee tables and provides access to the kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathroom and a coat/shoes/tool cupboard.

There is one (unreserved - so you will have to fight for it) vehicle parking space sometimes available on sloping ground to the rear of the crumbling tenement.

If you have a valid and current Certificate Of Student Status (so the flat remains exempt from paying Council Tax), a vehicle, are a competent handyman or excel at DiY, this will boost you up the short list - so you should clarify all these factors with your very first email.

It is essential you understand and write English adequately and are able to communicate promptly and efficiently by email. You should demonstrate your English comprehension and ability to understand and follow simple instructions given in English with your very first contact.

Let us spell out what that means in practice:

No FULL name = NO REPLY
No FULL address = NO REPLY
No working phone number = probably NO REPLY
Ask any variation of *still available?* = DEFINITELY NO REPLY


If, AFTER you have CAREFULLY read ALL the details in this advert, you think this accommodation is just right for you, then EMAIL us ALL your relevant details first, and only then voice PHONE (no text/SMS messages whatever, please) after 09h46 and before 22h34 to progress matters.
- Biographical details such as your date and place of birth, future plans and aspirations, etc, etc, would be nice, but the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM is
your FULL legal name
as shown on your photographic government issued ID (not just a first name) and
a full postal address
(anywhere on planet Earth - NOT just a postcode) for the missives, plus
ALL your contact phone numbers
- Only then will I phone you to progress matters…

If you forget - or do not want to tell me - your contact phone numbers (overseas landline numbers are fine) in your very first email and attach a scan of your current Certificate Of Student Status to your very first EMAIL, I will likely discard your application.

My first reply may come via the Gumtree automated mail system, so you will have wasted both my time and your own if you do not whitelist Gumtree and neither check your BULK or SPAM folder for my reply!

Please do not call or email until or unless you have read ALL of this advert - please DO email ALL your relevant details - rather than make a thoughtless spasm or robotically short enquiry. Sorry to appear unfriendly (we are definitely not !) but this text is really to see if you even bothered to read to the bottom ;-)
