Unit 1, Track 4 Hello, Good Moves Accommodation Agency.
2
Ben speaking.
3
How can I help?
4
Good morning.
5
I'm calling about an apartment on your website and was wondering if I could have some more information.
6
Certainly.
7
Can I take your details before we get started?
8
Sure.
9
Right.
10
What's your name, please?
11
OK.
12
My name is Clarice Willard.
13
Clarice is C-L-A-R-I-C-E and Willard W-I-L-L-A-R-D.
14
Uh-huh.
15
And have you got a contact number?
16
Yes.
17
I'll give you my mobile,
18
which is 0192 873 4566.
19
That's great.
20
Thanks.
21
And can I ask how you found us? Of course.
22
A family member used you last year and recommended you.
23
so I had a look at your website and, well, that's why I'm calling now.
24
OK.
25
So, which property are you interested in?
26
The apartment on Statham Street.
27
The one on the third floor.
28
Uh-huh.
29
Let me see.
30
Ah, I'm afraid that flat's no longer available.
31
No?
32
No, it went this morning.
33
It's in a really popular part of town.
34
We do have a house on the same street if you're interested.
35
It's £950 a month.
36
Er, no. I think that's much too expensive.
37
I think an apartment is all we can afford.
38
Oh, so it's not just for you?
39
No, me and a friend.
40
We're both starting work in the town next month.
41
Oh right, so it's two of you.
42
So let's see, do you have any preferences in terms of location?
43
Both our jobs are in the town centre, so it would be good to be within walking distance of that or perhaps a short bus journey away.
44
Neither of us have a car so we'd be relying on public transport.
45
And what's your budget?
46
I'm sorry?
47
How much can you pay a month?
48
Let me see, £700 a month is probably our limit.
49
Each?
50
No, that would be for the both of us.
51
We wouldn't be able to pay more than £350 each.
52
Oh, and that would have to include bills.
53
Not phone bills, obviously, but things like electricity, gas and water.
54
OK.
55
Well, we do have a place in the Bampton district, which is about 10 minutes by bus from town.
56
It's a two-bedroom apartment and it's less than your budget at £600 a month.
57
The bills would be extra, unfortunately, but that should still work out at less than £700.
58
Although, remember that electricity and gas prices are going up all the time, so I can't guarantee that.
59
Do you have an address?
60
I do.
61
The apartment number is 3 and it's at 57 Thorny Lees Road.
62
Hang on, let me just make a note of that.
63
57...
64
Thorney Lees Road.
65
Thorney is T-H-O-R-N-E-Y and Lees is L-E-Y-S and the district is called Bampton.
66
Do you have an email address?
67
Yes.
68
In that case, I can send you the details and then you can think about it.
69
And if you're interested i could arrange for a visit
70
so you can see the place for yourself how does
71
