AGENT : Hello, thank you for calling Iris Rentals. How can I help you?
CLIENT : Yes, hello there. I’m ringing just to make enquiries about renting a new property and I came across a listing on your website that I’m interested in.
AGENT: Oh yes.
CLIENT : I’d like to find out a few more details, if I may.
AGENT : Yes, of course. Can I take your name?
CLIENT : It’s Mary Collins.
AGENT : Okay, Mary. I’m just searching our system for the property details. Is there any information in particular that you were wanting?
CLIENT : Does the house have a gym?
AGENT: No, the house doesn’t have a gym, however the house has a large [1]swimming pool, which will be great for exercise and really refreshing during summer.
CLIENT : Oh wow, that sounds lovely. What is the general layout of the house?
AGENT : This house is rather unusual as the living room is located upstairs with the bedrooms, and downstairs at ground floor is the [2]dining room, which has a lovely view out over the swimming pool.
CLIENT : Does the house come with a car parking space on the street?
AGENT : Oh, there’s no need for that. The house comes with a big [3]garage where you can park your cars and there’s also a lot of room for storage. It’s attached to the house through a door in the kitchen.
CLIENT : Oh, that’s perfect, it’ll make it far easier to carry my food shopping into the house.
AGENT : Oh yes, absolutely. You actually don’t even need to take your car to do the shopping as the [4]local supermarket is just down the street. You can walk the distance easily.
CLIENT : Really? How convenient! Is there anywhere near to the house where I can take my children to play?
AGENT : Unfortunately there aren’t any playgrounds nearby, but there is a [5]park near the supermarket that would be great for taking your children for a walk. It would also be a great place for you to meet your neighbours.
CLIENT : Yes, that’s true, I love taking long walks in the park. I’m sure there will be a playground at the local school anyway.
AGENT : Yes, absolutely. The community has its own [6]primary school and there is a secondary school in the neighbouring community, so there are plenty of resources nearby for your children’s education.
CLIENT : OK, great. What are the rental costs for the property?
AGENT : The monthly rent is $980, which is very reasonable considering the size of the house and the amenities that it has to offer.
CLIENT : Does that figure include maintenance fees and bills?
AGENT : The bills are not included in that figure, but it does include any maintenance fees for the [7]garden.
CLIENT : That sounds like a very reasonable price. We were hoping to move in on the 20th of April. Will the house be vacant for that date?
AGENT : The current tenants of the property are due to leave on the 20th, but the cleaners will need a few days to make sure that the house is clean and tidy. This would make the house officially available on the[8]23rd April.
CLIENT : Well everything about the house sounds perfect...exactly what I’m looking for. What date would it be possible to view the property?
AGENT : I have arranged for the tenant to leave the property on Friday so I can show the house to prospective renters. Would you be able to make that day?
CLIENT : Yes, I’m sure I could come on my lunch break. Would 1 o’clock be OK?
AGENT : I’m afraid that I have a meeting at 12.30, so I won’t be able to make that time. I have available appointments at 10.15 and 3.
CLIENT : OK, in that case can we schedule the appointment for [9]10.15?
AGENT : No problem, I’ll book it into my schedule. If you wouldn’t mind arriving 5 minutes early that would be great, just so we can get started on time.
CLIENT : Sure. What is the address?
AGENT : The postcode is GA58ER and the house is number 8 on [10]Spring Street. It’s the second right off of Bath Street.
CLIENT : OK, that’s great.
AGENT : Do you have any more questions?
CLIENT : Nope...thank you for your help.
AGENT : No problem. See you on Friday. Bye!
