I'm probably going to sound like a miserable so and so but cant help it!
I'm not actually sure i can post this on here but I'm going to anyway.. sorry.
Ive been qualified for 5 years, was employed and working as a nail tech and teaching new staff within the salon, then went on to working for myself renting within another salon and mobile. Ive worked since i was 14 and am so hard working, Ive never accepted help from anyone and constantly do courses and check online to update my skills and be the best i can be, i have a large client following now thanks to this.
Ive always wanted my own shop and was finally in a position to do so, money and client wise.
I looked at a few properties and finally found the perfect one!
Found a solicitor and we contacted the landlord. basically the girl who had it left and opened up another salon with someone else but she needed to reassign the lease, its been empty for over a year but the lease is until 2014.
i was told id need to pay a quarter rent in advance and this was fine.
all of a sudden my solicitor told me they then have decided i need to pay an £8000 deposit or have the bank as a guarantor. The bank I'm with doesn't offer this service and £8000 is ridiculous money that there is no way I'm going to find that sort of money! (also more than my rent P.A!!!!!)
i said i couldn't do this and my solicitor agreed it was redic. we offered family members as guarentors, more than a quarter rent in advance, i even offered to pay the whole year in advance as rent but not a deposit (which would just sit there untouched and id have to pay rent on top of it) i offered character references, bank status reports, Ive pretty much offered LOADS.
they refused everything! my landlord decided to ask about a sublease. a little glimmer of hope came when they agreed but i would have to pay a months rent as a deposit - this i could do. i agreed and then it seemed fine but now they are asking that i pay part of THEIR legal fees!!! i said no and they have said that i have to or its not going ahead. then they said they now also want a family guarantor also..
Ive now offered more than one months rental deposit, a guarantor but no legal payment for them.. I'm waiting to see what they say.
basically its been a nightmare and Ive spent today in tears because i really feel at the end of my tether i just dont know what to do. if the place wasn't so perfect location and size -wise I'd walk away but i just dont know what else to do.
has anyone else experienced this or something like it and whats your advice?
thanks
