Reading a Letting Agent describing her embarrassment at slamming a door on the fingers of a prospective tenant, and then walking into the flat to see on the walls framed full frontal nude pictures of the current tenants, reminded me of my own flat hunting funny and embarrassing moment. We had arrived at the flat promptly at 10:00 on a Saturday where we were met by the agent. Ringing the bell the agent was a little flummoxed when the tenant opened the door in dressing gown, clearly having just rolled out of bed. She assured us it was fine to view as arranged and asked the agent to conduct the viewing for her, but said it was fine to come in the bedroom where she was going back to bed. The agent took us round the flat, which was actually very nice, but a little spoilt by wedding photos absolutely everywhere – framed on the walls, free standing on the coffee table, mousemats, coasters, mugs, whatever it was there she was with her new bridegroom.
Finally as our last port of call in the viewing we knocked on the bedroom door and walked in. As expected she was back in bed and dozing. The big surprise was – the man in bed with her wasn’t the man in all the wedding photos!
The way that reads I could sign up Winchester Street to this company and get rid of all my traffic warden problems forever!
I wish
FAO: Director / Property Manager,
Whether you currently receive parking problems or simply wish to prevent them, we can help
Xxxxxx Carpark Control is a Security Industry Authority (S.I.A) Licensed Parking Control Operator and we write to offer you our Services. Being registered with the Security Industry Authority (SIA) our staff undergo a full criminal record check, therefore providing you with quality, reassurance and trust.
We understand that you may operate and control a number of premises with the parking areas accessible to the public, where you may display a simple warning to unauthorised vehicles saying that they may be clamped and charged a fee. Although this maybe a deterrent to some, others are becoming more aware that the area has no enforcement to follow such warning, simply due to in-proper signage.
At NO COST to you, we can provide and install a more formal car park signage within these said areas. We use a high deterrent warning sign which standards are met by the British Parking Association (BPA). This insures your parking facilities are adequate and easily accessible for your residents, visitors, and even emergency vehicles that may require access to the property.
You can choose from either a monitoring service where we will regularly monitor the affected location/s and/or a call out service where we will only attend when requested to do so. Although, choosing the option of your property being monitored regularly also gives a further source of security to your premises.
We urge you to take full advantage of our services, as by contracting XxxxxxCarpark Control to provide your parking enforcement, we in turn will provide you with No Set-up Costs coupled with No Service Charges.
This means we will provide and install Car Park signage where necessary, provide parking permits to authorised persons, and provide parking enforcement where necessary where our easily identifiable uniformed/licensed staff will then randomly but regularly monitor the affected properties.
