IELTS LISTENING – Flagstone S49T1

JANICE: Yes, Mr Anderson. What sort of thing were you looking for?

JON: Two-bedroomed house with garden.

JANICE: 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 _Q1 the city centre itself.

JON: City centre… uh-huh.

JANICE: And the north suburbs.

JON: Oh well… we were most interested in the Northern areas actually.

JANICE: Right… yes… What sort of price were you thinking of?

JON: Well… could you give me some idea?

JANICE: Certainly. It really ranges from £_Q2 250 per month.

JON: Only £250?

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

JON: What does it depend on?

JANICE: Well, obviously the quality of the area. And then whether there’s _Q3 a garden.

JON: Well, as I said, we’d want a garden.

JANICE: And a garage pushes up the price.

JON: Right… well, we wouldn’t necessarily need one. I think about £350 a month would be our limit.

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

JON: Yes, that’d be great.

JANICE: Looking at our files… I think we’ve got two which might suit you.

JON: Hang on. I’ll just get a pen. Right.

JANICE: OK. Well, there’s one on West Park Road which is £_Q4 325 a month.

JON: Are the bills included?

JANICE: Well, that one just includes _Q5 the water bill.

JON: OK, right.

JANICE: And the second house is in Tithe Road. I’ll just spell that for you … OK?

JON: Yep.

JANICE: T-I-T-H-E Road.

JON: Got that. And how much is that one?

JANICE: That’s £380.

JON: 380. Is that including water?

JANICE: No, I’m afraid not, but it does include _Q6 the telephone rental.

JON: Oh well, that’s not too bad then. So, …

JANICE: So, when would you be available to see them?

JON: Well, I’ll be in town next week … say … Thursday?

JANICE: No, I’m sorry we don’t have any availability for Thursday. How about _Q7 Wednesday afternoon?

JON: OK. That’s fine. Would 5.00 be OK?

JANICE: Yes, fine. 5.00 o’clock it is. Just come to the Flagstone Offices.

JON: Oh, before I forget. What sort of things do I need to get done… to rent with you?

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

JON: NO problem…

JANICE: And then a reference letter from _Q8 your employer.

JON: Yes, that’s OK.

JANICE: Great, and then we would need you to give _Q9 2 weeks’ notice of moving in.

JON: Right… 2 weeks’ notice. And what about a deposit?

JANICE: That’s _Q10 one months rent, whatever the amount is.

JON: OK. One month. Is that it?

JANICE: No, sorry, one more… you will have to pay for the contract.

JON: Oh yes. I’d forgotten about that. OK, fine. So I’ll start arranging those, and I’ll…

JANICE:… I’ll see you next week.

JON: Yes. Thanks very much. Bye.

JANICE: Goodbye.
