Welcome to Letters to Teresa! This week we kick off the serialised reading of all the emails between us (Rachael and Danny) and our estate agent (Teresa) with the help of our first ever guest, China Blue Fish. We’re about to move into 3 Parks Road and already things are not going to plan. We also talk house hunting, discrimination and goth quarters. Should we remarket the property? 

This episode also features Howl Yuan’s ‘house hunting song’.
