Day 1 of rental hunting

Well, that went fucking awfully lol.
Loads of places forget to put "no pets" in so you jump through their assbag hoops to be told that post-mortem.
Quite a few places have this pointless "Must view" rule to protect their own ass. That means that our idea to move across the country to the cheaper north-east (From south west) is not likely to happen as going to a viewing would be 8 hours of travel. One way. And then 8 back. Not feasible.
Some people didn't want to do their jobs & simply failed to pick up the phone during regular work hours, on a regular work day (British are lazy AF).
I'm waiting for one "premier lettings agent" who failed to pick up to email me because her voice mail said she would. She's had four hours to do this as of writing this, but I'm not expecting much.
Some places weren't happy about us wanting to only move in September. So out of 32 properties checked in multiple cities and inquired about, there is only 1 "maybe" hanging around right now.
Mix of pissed and scared.
