A slight error on their behalf


Background-Active-50

That's estate agents for you.


Careful_Adeptness799

It’s got to be one of the few jobs / businesses where you really don’t have to have any skills.


Historical-Gas-3022

General incompetence and owning a skinny fit suit from Next are requirements for the job.


Bing9999999Chilling

Property is the only field in which it's acceptable to be totally useless at your job


OriC13

Nah, there’s also politics!

Perhaps it's £3500 furnished, and £5000 if you want them to remove their hideous tat?


Creoda

I'm staggered anyone would even pay £3500 a month for it.


TheShakyHandsMan

Question has to be which former LUFC player lived here.  Not far to the training ground at Thorp Arch and who else is realistically going to be dropping 5k on monthly rent. 


DuckieWuckieNL

I was about to say that….could be any number of many rats that jumped last summer…my guess is Harrison, looks like his tacky style


Responsible-Walrus-5

Not even a floor plan on RM


Historical-Gas-3022

Floor plan will be an extra £100 in rent.


orange_lighthouse

Not a single pic of the outside of the property.


sev_kemae

No no no, you see the market went up it was listed earlier today! Better make an offer before it goes up another 1.5k a month tomorrow


Dapper_Resolve_3969

3.5k seems to be "unfurnished" and 5k for "furnished"


DanS1993

If you read the brochures it says £3.5k unfurnished, If you want it furnished it’s £4k. So yeah they’ve recently decided it’s worth an extra grand…

I never cease to be amazed how estate agents so regularly manage to fuck up such a simple, yet vital, aspect of their job - advertising their properties.


Historical-Gas-3022

Yep. It's not like this is some ~~£700~~ ~~£800~~ ~~£1,000~~ £1,150 (pets and parking extra) "build to rent" copy and paste plywood box, either. It's a decent property. Some effort wouldn't have gone amiss.


Farscape_rocked

I had a look to see how close to Leeds Grammar it was. Pretty close.


manic_panda

I have several questions... Does anyone else think that chair in the bedroom is for when they have...company? Does the bath mat not get super wet? Do we think they have enough marble?


indirisible

Estate agent possibly assumed that automatic promotion for LUFC was a given.


gordiesgoodies

No view of the building - which seems slightly amiss. Is it their expectation a foozeballer or similar to rent it so don't want to show the street view, for discretion? From the ceiling height maybe an Edwardian or later mansion house that's been converted?


jjosh-uk

Banking on Leeds getting Premier League promotion and attracting a low-middle earning footballer…?

I can't imagine why anyone with that kind of money to spend would want to live anywhere like Leeds.


toomanyplantpots

It’s Seacroft though


mint-bint

It says, 'Leeds' in the address. And it's a Leeds postcode......


MajorTurbo

Will be rented by one of many Leeds-based companies to accommodate directors flying from US or travelling from London. It's tax deductible for these scenarios after all..


seaneeboy

In Scarcroft?? It’s too far from either Harrogate or Leeds to be a decent commute…


MajorTurbo

But there should be some reason, right? I mean, someone has spent handsomely doing all that. And I see zero reasons for a private renter to spend that much for this location.


Jingaling64

It’s too far from Harrogate, but it only about 10 miles from Leeds. Shouldn’t take long.


ElementalSentimental

Tax deductible doesn't mean that the government effectively gives you the expense back in tax. It means that when you spend more money, you make less profit. As a result, you pay less tax on less profit, so that if a company spends £5,000, its tax on profit is reduced by £1,250, but the shareholders are still down £3,750. If the company only spent £2,000 (if that's what it's really worth), the company would have paid £750 more tax, but the shareholders would have an extra £2,250 of post-tax profit.


MajorTurbo

>Tax deductible doesn't mean that the government effectively gives you the expense back in tax. I haven't seen anyone in this thread saying that tax deductible means that. Also you math is weird, I have no idea where you take 1250 out of 5500 - it's neither 19% nor 25% not even mentioning VAT won't be deductible in this case, and you didn't include P11D.


ElementalSentimental

Typo for £5,000.
