Hi,

Take my advice-dont do it 2 reasons:

1.The number of instances where people have been cheated of their money is quite high-you can do a search on QL itself and see some of these instances...

2.In most cases of annual payment,the landlord doesnt generally bother to act on your maintenance requests etc-why should he?he's already got the money!

My strong advice to you would be to go in for a monthly payment basis contract-any day better than a lumpsum payment one!
