3 men over the last few weeks have targetted a neighbour who gets a little confused re trees cutting down, tiles coming off roof, guttering blocked etc.. Forked out over ?7000 to these guys in cash - only discovered when spouse looked at their joint bank statement. Police notified.


Also heard of this week, vulnerable pensioners being targetted - elderly lady in Dunstans Road area lost a couple of hundred pounds in cash when helpful man offered to put a new light bulb in her room, then helped himself to her cash. Thought to be the same man who got her to sign a cheque and then added a few noughts. Luckilly bank realised it was a forgery and made contact.


Please warn your elderly folk that there are many con men around at the moment

    • I don’t expect any seller to agree to a price reduction — most of them feel it’s like robbery. For example, I was buying a property on Darren Road. They asked for £870k, I offered £830k, they rejected it. Then I offered £840k and they accepted. Later we discovered party wall issues, so we didn’t want to proceed unless the price was reduced to £780k. The seller refused and told us we were dreaming,we immediately pulled out. In the end, the house dropped to £730k, then £670k, and I believe it eventually sold for around £670k. This is a stage every seller has to go through, so I don’t bother arguing. If it doesn’t feel right, I just walk away.
    • drop your offer price dramatically and continue, or walk away. 
    • The price isn’t as cheap as probate properties, yet the condition is basically the same as those probate houses, and most properties do not have subsidence claim history. I told the agent I was looking for a probate property, but they still ended up recommending this one to me. I don’t dislike the estate agent, I think they genuinely didn’t know! but I was indeed led into this step by step. I don’t believe the seller will lower the price, and I don’t have the time to negotiate anyway. As I said, there are many straightforward houses out there. I’ll wait to see the insurance quotation and whether the seller is willing to fix the main water drainage issue before deciding on the next step. Yes, this is something that needs to be fixed, as it’s painful to deal with TW and deal with drainage issue
    • Farage, like most of its pupils, wasn't a boarder.
