Well, we can get out of ours at any point with a months notice, but would have to also pay an admin fee. We reckon we'll just keep it for another year, and look for a house to start at the end of that term if we can. The flat is big enough - 2 dbl bedrooms, big living room, kitchen/diner and 2 balconies, one of which has an office sized storage cupboard off it. So it will be OK, a house would just be nicer. Plus, well noisy neighbours here!
Just had a call back from the agent, who confirmed that the tenants are being evicted, as of the end of july. But, I know for a fact that evictions do not always go to plan, and not willing to go out on a limb like that... need to be sensible! x
