What a mess JR but it does sound like there will be a reasonably speedy reversal of their damage.

Yes it looks that way Mick , have allowed this month before we get a better valuation.

[Guest]

Sorry to hear that john , but it can only get better from now on . The scumbags are no longer in there ( hopefully in custody ) and it sounds like you’ve got some fantastic mates to get things back to normal . The letting agent should be a bit more vigilant now . Cheers tony

Yes indeed Tony, yes very lucky in that respect.

[Guest]

Sorry to hear this Wobble, I mean sounds like a movie script but to really happen must have been real bad. With all the good help I hope all will get better.

Wabble.

Thanks Wabble , its does. Cant say on here what I would do to them, apart from removing body parts !

[Guest]

Sorry to hear this mate - I hope the scrotes get a decent sentence, but then again knowing our wet, weak judicial system I somehow doubt that :anguished:
Steve

[Guest]

Good grief John, that’s something you don’t want to have to deal with. Hope it gets sorted out soon.

Many thank Tim, rather like a bad dream, hopefully in 6 months this will be all in the past.

[Guest]

Very sorry to hear this, John. As others have said, at least you have the backup to get things put right.
John.

Indeed John, the agents have been for of a better word crap, " oh the cleaners got a bad back, electricians are either on holiday or ill . We still be waiting for cleaners , until we found some from Peterborough, this will allow the decorators in on Tuesday.

[Guest]

John.
Like the other lads have written, I'm so sorry to read of your troubles...

Just unbelievable!

What a great bunch of folks you know who are willing to drop everything to try and help out.

I hope it all gets sorted for you in double quick time.

Best wishes to you and Christine.

Ron

Thanks Ron, as you know the comrade ship from friends in the trade has been great, of course they will get paid straight way, any one form the agents can bloody wait till the end of the month !

Sorry to hear of this John, not the best thing to find in a property you rent out,

When we bought our current house, we couldn't understand why we found a water feed system in the loft, didn't think much of it to be honest,...we honestly thought it was there to top up the central heating system, ..(.I didn't know much about boiler / central heating systems etc at that time ), so when we replaced the boiler we had it all torn out and capped off, and happily carried on with our lives.

fast forward to a few years later, whilst B&Q were ripping out the kitchen to replace it, we discovered a load of well hidden electrical cabling near the mains consumer board in the kitchen, this was connected to the mains 'before' the meter, this cabling had been cut off but left where it was installed, so it wasn't drawing any power,
the electrician upon checking this out ..(he was installing a new ring main for the kitchen appliances), he told us this was done to bypass the meter and so wouldn't be charged for and more importantly illegal,

it all pointed to the 'growing of cannabis', which then made perfect sense why the irrigation system was in the loft,

We were informed that he should now stop work and report it to the police and electricity board who would come and carry out an investigation leading to potential criminal charges being made against us, but seeing as the cable was had clearly been installed many years ago...it was the old colour cables, he did us a 'solid' and rectified all the wiring and accepting that honestly knew nothing about the dodgy wiring didn't report it to the police or electricity board.

this is just one of the many dodgy things we found that had been done in the house prior to us buying it.

A sign of the times I think Chris, seems from the cleaner that the decorator met this morning its happens all the time.

[Guest]

Surprising! Letting agents should be liable for any damage - due diligence & regular property checks not carried out. Our German friends will soon be able to grow their own - up to 3 plants per household for personal use. That would certainly cut down on cannabis farms - I think a lot of other countries are watching with interest......................
Dave

You would think so, but they had done a walk through check and sent photos about 3 weeks before, it looked perfect. Of course they will wriggle out of any suggestion they didn't comply with any lack of care. I just want rid of the place now, can't mention it say on FB or they would sue. I will have my say when all is finished to the area director.

[Guest]

My brother-in-law was an electrician and one of his mates asked him to re-wire his terraced house. When he went up into the loft he found that doorways had been cut into all the attic dividing walls and there were about eight Asian families living there!

Bloody hell Dave.

[Guest]

Sorry to hear this my old friend hope you and Christine get back on track soon. Dave

Thanks Dave , Christine is very upset, just have to wait for things to be done and then call it a day and sell .
