Se
que hace mucho que no publico nada e intentaré subsanarlo en breve, pero mi
vuelta al blog se debe al trauma adquirido tras detectar un timo inmobiliario
en el alquiler de un piso aquí, en Sevilla. Hasta la fecha yo había escuchado
hablar de este tipo de cosas en la tele, en algunos blogs, a alguien que conoce
a alguien que conoce a otro alguien que cuenta que…etc, pero nunca lo había visto
en primera persona.
La
historia es la que sigue. Entre mis aficiones se encuentra buscar piso en
internet, qué os voy a contar, me entretiene mucho. Pues este domingo encontré
un piso en una de mis calles ideales para vivir aquí, la calle de mi antigua
residencia de estudiantes. A la situación geográfica había que sumarle que, para
un piso de un par de habitaciones, el precio era de 450€ al mes TODO incluido.
Y
pensé: tiene que tener algo raro (además de la decoración xD) pero mandemos un correo no fuera a ser que,
por desconfiada, perdiera una oportunidad como esa. Así que nada, email al
canto a una tal Manuela diciéndole que quería ver el piso.
Os
podeis imaginar mi sorpresa al leer a la mañana siguiente un email tal que asi:
Hello,
First of all i'm sorry to write you in english but i don't speak spanish. I just read your e-mail regarding my apartment located in :Calle padre méndez casariego, 25 barrio puerta de carmona - puerta del osario distrito centro sevilla 41003 planta 2ª. It has 3 rooms : 2 bedrooms, 1 bathrooms, 1 kitchen and 1 living room (60m2 ).I bought this apartment for my daughter during her studies in SPAIN, but now she's back home permanently, so I'm renting the place for unlimited time.
Before we go any further I would like to know a little something about you, like how many persons you intend to live in the apartment, and for how long.
The flat is exactly like in the pictures, fully furnished and renovated. Also, very important, the utilities (cold/hot water, electricity, wireless broadband Internet, digital TV, 1 parking spots, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, etc.) are INCLUDED in the price of 450 EUR/month. The kaution is also EUR 450,00, and you get it back, when you decide to leave the apartment (you will have to give me at least 30 days notice). As for me, you can rest assured that I will never ask you to leave the apartment. My daughter is building her life here, and i am too old to move to Spain, so we won't disturb you.
You can use my furniture, or you can also use your own if you prefer. If you decide to use yours, you will have access to a very large and well ventilated cellar, where you can store my furniture.
Now, a little bit about myself so we can get to know each other better. My name is Manuela Graves and I'm a 58 years old graphic designer from Manchester /United Kingdom, planning to retire in the next 2 years.
I have a lovely husband,David and a 25 year old daughter, Linda. I am very proud to say that soon I'm going to be a grandmother :). Another member of our family is a 8 year old Labrador which we all love, so, I have no problem if you will keep pets.
The only inconvenience is that my job doesn't allow me to leave Manchester even for one single day. We just hired some new staff and I'm in charge of their training.
But this won't affect you at all. I can make arrangements to rent the apartment from Manchester (on my expense of course).
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
All the best from Britain!

OH
MY GOD!! ¡¡Ya sé cuál es el truco que tenía el piso!! ¡¡Tiene que ser un fake
como una casa de grande!! (ojos como platos, mandíbula inferior de rebote desde
el suelo). Pero bueno, démosle el beneficio de la duda (yo quiero creer (casi)siempre
en la bondad del ser humano, inocente hasta que se demuestre lo contrario).
Siguiente paso: google!! La susodicha casera no aparece por ninguna parte: Facebook,
linkedink, club de Mánchester de petanca…lo que SI aparece es… la dirección de
su trabajo, en un blog donde Mommyblue cuenta, bueno, lo mismo que os he
contado yo pero con más fe en la humanidad. Podeis leerlo aquí.
Así
que, actualizo mi blog para denunciar este tipo de timos inmobiliarios y que
gente como yo confirme sus temores, se eche unas risas y tenga algo que
contarle a sus amigos la próxima vez que queden pa tomar unas cervezas.
