Hi Bnco,
How long have the agents been managing the property?
Why doesn't the agent know if there are telephone sockets?
And why can't they go round there and check?
Are apartments built nowadays without phone connections? I wouldn't have thought so.
It may be that there is a phone connection but possibly it wasn't used because the previous tenant always used their mobile and didn't have internet access there. Telstra may need to do a re-connection.
If you decide to take the property, take photos of the wall heaters and measurements, so that you can see if anything has changed, in case it gets worse and they say it was like that when you moved in.
Also have you checked over the tenancy agreement thoroughly?
Why not do another viewing and check for phone points?
This does sound strange without there being anything specific wrong.
Regards,
Karen (with help from my husband :-) )
