Uncle Jim goes flat hunting

-

Look, I really admire my Uncle Bob, I’ve always looked up to him as someone I can go for advice.

What is nice that now and then he comes to me. My uncle Jim is looking for a new flat. He spent the weekend looking through the newspapers trying to find something in his price range.

He decided he needed some advice so he looked up my phone number in his address book and gave me a ring. The next day we spent the afternoon looking at some possibilit­ies on the outskirts of San Sebastian, in a suburb called Renteria. He was looking for a bargain but I told him to look out for flats which needed a lot of work. In every flat we looked over the electrics and the plumbing.

All the flats we saw were quite pricey so we looked into the possibilit­y of getting a mortgage from the bank. In the end we managed to find the perfect flat and uncle Jim is really looking forward to moving in. It was pricey but I think uncle Jim'll look after it well.
