How would you react to this?

[Hawkeye]

I would ...
- let the lawns grow, don't weed the garden
- leave plenty of rubbish all over the lawn and paths
- leave one of the kid's dirty nappies on the bathroom floor
- fry chips and burn them, then leave the fat in the pot on the stove
- get one of the kids pencils and dot the wallpaper so it looks like mould
- borrow a neighbourhood old car, take the wheels off and put it on blocks on the front lawn
Then allow renters to view

So that's why your house and gardens are the way they are. Nasty told me it was because you had fallen off the bike and couldn't do the washing and ironing due to the sore arm....

You'll keep. One day when you're riding along in the zone with not a care in the world ....... MWAAAHAHAHAHA

You are being rather helpful. Wish I could find a vendor like you

Whats done is done. She is very appologetic, and I believe that it was a genuine mistake. And she sounds cute
Its not an investment property for them, they've had to make a fair stretch to afford our house and as a result they need to rent it out for a year. They are staying with parents at the moment and will have to endure it for a bit longer. I actually feel sorry for them- imagine buying your first house and not being able to move in

Well if she sounds all bets are off......

Sounds like they've come up with a good plan to get into a house though. Renting it out would suck but if they can only afford to top-up the mortgage and have rent-free accommodation it is the way to go.

Glad to hear you've sorted it and feel pretty happy about it.

Sounds like they have over extended themselves to buy the property in the first place, I would not like to be them when it comes to repaying the mortgage if /when the interest rates rise or the new tenants decide that they don't have to pay the rent for a month or two.... mortgagee sale anyone

Well we met the new owners today.

Quite frankly, she sounded too damn cute for me to stay angry with any way
