How well do you have to know someone before letting yourself into their house when you visit?

Um, yes. Firstly, letting someone else in seems worse than coming themselves, though I don't know why.

Secondly, I thought they were legally required to give notice before coming[1]? If I misread the letter, that's my own fault :) But I thought there were strict rules against just coming round. I seem to maybe recall some provision for showing people round, but not a blanket one or something -- obviously letting oneself in at will is open to abuse!

[1] Oo-er.

I thought they were required to give notice. eg I could be ill - one flat I was supposed to see when i was looking for this one, the viewing was postponed because the person was ill. I didn't check my contract though.

I don't think they had my landline, but they would have had my mobile from when I moved in. And they could always write.

They were basically efficient until the day they wrote to give me notice on the flat, and have been complete muppets in all my dealings with them since.

I guess that makes some sense, in an evil kind of way.
