These estate agent's demands are ‘ridiculous' — but are they legal?
'Is this the Hunger Games?' This was the reaction of a young woman after reading an email from an estate agent regarding a flat viewing. And, while the rental market doesn't involve interviewing with Stanley Tucci (sadly) or a fight to the death, it doesn't feel too far removed from the experiences of those in District 12. TikToker Harriet (@harriet.d.h) shared the email which offered 'hilarious tips' to increase her and her friends' chances of securing the apartment they were going to view. 'Estate agents are out of control – absolutely out of control,' she said in the video, which now has more than 230,000 views. Apparently we need to put an offer in literally as soon as we see it, if we want it. Otherwise there's no chance of us getting it.' She then showed the email which asked for an offer form to be filled out, along with a bio, then offered some 'tips' which would 'increase the chances of your offer being accepted'. These included: You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro. Customers benefit from: – Award winning service from the UK's leading mortgage broker – Expert advisors on hand 7 days a week – Access to 1000s of mortgage deals from across the market Unlike many mortgage brokers, L&C won't charge you a fee for their advice. Find out how much you could borrow online Mortgage service provided by London & Country Mortgages (L&C), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered number: 143002). The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Offering over the asking price A long contract length Sticking to the move in date or sooner Paying upfront (offering three to 12 months rent) Offer a voluntary rent increase each year Harriet was floored by the list of demands, saying: 'Do you think I'd be viewing a flat at this price if I could afford a flat over?' Speaking of the upfront rent suggestion, she said: 'This one really got me. Sorry let me just get this £27,000 and give it to you upfront – why didn't I think of that sooner? F**king idiots.' Others in the comments were equally as annoyed by the 'tips' in the email. 'Who in their right sane mind would offer a rent increase?' commented TikToker Abigail Parker. 'Being told your rent is increasing is one thing, why would I willingly give away more money for the same exact property I'm already in?' added another. 'The 12 month thing is the most annoying one in my opinion. If I had 12 months rent upfront, I'd get a mortgage,' said Hannah Ridge. Others called the suggestions 'ridiculous' and 'appalling'. Offering over the asking price While frustrating, this stipulation is currently 'common in competitive markets', according to Marc von Grundheer, director of Benham and Reeves Estate Agents. However, that's all about to change. This will soon be a no no under the Renters' Rights Bill. Instead, agents and landlords will have to agree an average market price in advance, and will be unable to accept offers over the set price. The fine for breaching this rule could be up to £7,000. A long contract length If a landlord accepts a longer contract length, it could be a red flag. Cordelia Smith, residential property associate at Hunters, tells Metro she'd be 'very cautious' about offering a long contract length, as 'responsible landlords' will know that changes are coming. Cordelia says: 'The changes proposed by the Renters' Rights Bill will, when they become law, completely overhaul tenancy arrangements, and responsible landlords will know that – for them, it's unlikely to be an effective bargaining chip.' Sticking to the move in date or moving in sooner This one isn't illegal, and is actually advised by our experts. 'No landlord is going to want a rental property sitting empty, so any offer to move in sooner than the advertised date is bound to be appealing,' says Cordelia. Marc agrees: 'Being flexible on move-in dates may be used as a negotiation tactic.' Paying upfront (offering three to 12 months rent) Currently, while asking for rent upfront isn't illegal, Marc says it's 'controversial'. He says: 'It risks discriminating against lower-income renters, pricing others out, and generally increasing inequality.' And, when the Renters' Rights Bill comes in it, it'll be banned. The new rules will stop landlords from being able to ask for more than a month's rent upfront – if they do, it could mean a £5,000 fine. Offer a voluntary rent increase each year According to Marc, this is 'virtually unheard of' among renters. 'It's also arguably counterproductive, since it can drive inflation and raise affordability concerns long term,' says Marc. 'It's not illegal, but it's certainly not standard practice and would be seen by many as reckless advice.' More Trending Including a bio description This one is what Marc calls a 'grey area'. 'While not illegal, it does open the door to unconscious bias and discrimination, which the Equality Act protects against,' he says. View More » 'If an agent or landlord chooses a tenant based on their ethnicity, gender, religion, or family status, even indirectly, it could become legally problematic.' Some of the perks of Labour's Renters' Rights Bill, which will likely coming into effect in early 2026, include: An end to rental bidding – Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to accept offers made above this rate. – Landlords and agents will be required to publish an asking rent for their property and it will be illegal to accept offers made above this rate. Only a month's rent can be asked up for upfront . .

‘Devil Wears Prada 2' starts filming just as Anna Wintour is leaving Vogue
A sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada' is one step closer to the big screen, and it's coming at a decisive time in the fashion industry that inspired it. 20th Century Studios announced on Monday via social media that the sequel to the beloved 2006 film is currently in production, and it dovetails with the news that Anna Wintour – who is famously believed to have been the inspiration for the titular diabolical editor in the film, played by Meryl Streep – is stepping down from her position editor-in-chief at Vogue after almost four decades. The first film was based on the 2003 bestselling novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who had previously worked as a personal assistant to Wintour at Vogue, and tells the story of an impressionable young New Yorker (Anne Hathaway) who finds a job at a top fashion magazine under the direction of a tough-as-nails editor. Streep's character Miranda Priestly became shorthand for difficult-to-please bosses no matter the industry, and she earned one of her many Oscar nominations for her performance. The new film will welcome back Streep, along with Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, whose career was launched by the hit first movie. CNN has also confirmed that Kenneth Branagh has joined the cast for the next installment, currently known as 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' on IMDb. For her part, Wintour was at one point…less than enthusiastic about being linked to the Priestly character. In 2009, she appeared on David Letterman's late night talk show where she noted that the film was 'fiction' and pointed out that 'as my publisher says in the movie, I'm not always warm and cuddly.' 'What I liked about the movie is that it really showed all the hard work that goes into the making of the magazine,' she allowed at the time. The sequel is being directed by David Frankel, who also helmed the original. A release date for 'Devil Wears Prada 2' has not yet been released.
