CAM3 - Test 1 - Part 1 (Listen and Read)

Hello... Flagstone.

Oh hello.

Is that Flagstone Properties?

Yes that's right.

Flagstone here. How can I help you?

Hello.

I'm ringing just to make enquiries about renting a house.

My name's Jon Anderson.

Yes, Mr Anderson.

What sort of thing were you looking for?

Umm... Two-bedroomed house with garden.

Well... yes, sir, that shouldn't be any problem...

just to let you know that our main areas,

the main areas we deal with are the city centre itself...

City centre...

And the north suburbs.

Oh well...

we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.

Right... yes... What sort of price were you thinking of?

Well... could you give me some idea?

Certainly.

It really ranges from £250 per month.

Only £250?

Yes, to about £500 depending on a number of different factors.

Oh, what does it depend on?

Well, obviously the quality of the area.

And then whether there's a garden.

Well, as I said, we'd want a garden.

And a garage pushes up the price.

Right...

well, we wouldn't necessarily need one.

I think about £350 a month would be our limit.

Okay.

Well... would you like to have a look at a couple of properties, sir?

Yes, that'd be great.

Um... Looking at our files... I think we've got two which might suit you...

Hang on. I'll just get a pen.

Right.

Okay. Well, there's one on West Park Road

which is £325 a month.

Are the bills included?

Well, that one just includes the water bill.

Okay, right.

And the second house is in Tithe Road.

I'll just spell that for you, okay?

Yep.

TITHE Road.

Got that.

And how much is that one?

That's £380.

380.

Is that including water?

No, I'm afraid not, but it does include the telephone rental.

Oh well, that's not too bad then.

So, when would you be available to see them?

Well, uh... I'll be in town next week... say... Thursday?

No, I'm sorry we don't have any availability for Thursday.

How about Wednesday afternoon?

Okay. That's fine.

Would 5 be okay?

Yes, fine.

5 o'clock it is.

Just come to the Flagstone Offices.

Oh, before I forget.

What sort of things do I need to get done... to rent with you?

Well, the most important thing is a letter from your bank...

No problem...

And then a reference letter from your employer.

Yes, that's okay.

Great, and then we would need you to give 2 weeks' notice of moving in...

Right... 2 weeks' notice.

And what about a deposit?

That's one month's rent, whatever the amount is.

Okay. One month.

Is that it?

No, sorry, one more...

you will have to pay for the contract.

Oh yes. I'd forgotten about that.

Okay, fine.

So I'll start arranging those.

I'll see you next week.

Yes. Thanks very much.

Bye.

Goodbye.
