Title: WHY!?
Post by: Evilgoat on June 26, 2007, 15:36:51: Just need to vent my spleen :(

Buying a nice large flat, all going reasonably well, gave notice to my lanlord etc. Queried the seller a few times about the Tennants in the flat and was assured they would be out

Two weeks on they are now bloody squatters! Taken so much effort and pushing to get them out, seller is going mad, I'm at the stage where things are looking really bad too. If I wasnt this heavilly invested in the sale I'd have dropped the sale by now. Promises that the scumbags would be out have been and gone, we are now being told that they will be out by thurs. This now means if everything goes absolutely flawlessly we wont be able to get the keys till the 10th and i have to be out the flat by the 15th!

Goddam scumbags, death is too good. To make it worse I'm going to refuse the sale untill I have inspected the place again too. And I just know they are going to have damaged the place too :(

ARGH!

Should have camped out, drilled and superglued the locks when they went out weeks ago, why do these people have rights over property they dont own!?

Good Luck.

Post by: Yoshi on June 26, 2007, 17:32:00: Was their tenancy a shorthold one or an assured tenancy, cos if its an assured tenancy then i think they still have a right of tenancy even if the house is sold as the tenancy has no length as such.

He'd send round a very large, short-haired, tattooed friend, who would politely inform the squatters that he was moving in on a given day; whether they were out or not.

That seemed to do the trick.

Post by: Bishops Finger on June 27, 2007, 15:31:21: Make sure you inspect the property before the sale is complete..that way the seller has to repair damage

Post by: Bunnie on June 27, 2007, 16:28:16: We are hoping to get in there this weekend when the seller visits to change the locks and see what damage if any has been done.
