Anyone capable of paying so little attention to a house that it can be sold and them not notice for over three months deserves everything they get imo

The climate summit is what they built the castle on. Alternatively just use a ladder, it's summit, and you climate.

quote:Mr Hall phoned the police, but the builder left and returned with the new owner's father, who said he had bought the terraced house in July, adding: "It is now my property. You are now trespassing. Get out." Incredible amounts of landlord energy in a single short sentence.

The guy owned a tiny terraced house, yet he deserved to lose it and all of his possessions because of fraud? WTF?!? fuctifino fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Nov 1, 2021 |

With today's tech there is no point in sending out reporters to the field so CNN probably got to Glasgow, saw nothing impressive enough to film as a backdrop and went "gently caress it, we'll go to Edinburgh to film the castle".

Lick butter off knife, use same knife in Marmite. It's not as though anything iffy can survive in raw Marmite. Yes I do live alone, why do you ask?

Sadly sounds like someone who knew this guy personally committed this fraud. They knew he'd be away from home for a significant period of time and were able to get all his documentation. Almost certainly had access to the house. It will turn out its his brother or something that's done this.

Ah damnit, the marmite / vegemite talk reminded me I forgot to order that + malt vinegar from the expat shop in finland, and now the vegemite is out of stock again, got marmite and malt vinegar tho. But then the webshop is malfunctioning, jeez is there someone out there who wants to prevent me trying these?

It'll be the land registry paying out a settlement over it and no-one else. The man has lost his house, theres no way they will revert it back to his ownership. He might get a settlement off of the 'sellers' solicitors for the lost possessions because the buyers solicitors 100% would have said that they want the house cleared before purchase so they would have seen that and not flagged up an entire homes worth of contents were still in there. Absolutely disgusting story and 100% been bought by yet another buy to let landlord for a knockdown price too. Cannot believe the police said this was a civil matter to begin with.

I don't even believe that this government have that level of nuanced thinking. Seems more likely a dumb MP /spad decided let's just make 'pile ons' illegal without even thinking through the basics. Calling now that it's not going to happen.

Lol, imagine being that dude, you buy yourself a nice new house, all excited about what the future holds. The next day youre national news for stealing a poor old vicar's home and all your new neighbours hate you. I guess chances are he's a landlord so the thread's hate can be transferred over to him instead.

It's not real just log off you n00bs. The internet and forums were for anoraks and weirdos sitting at computers until everyone bought smartphones with internet-abled social media apps and suddenly everyone logged on at once without any preparation or understanding. This is the same reason people act like an account suspension is an un-human-ing civil rights violation and act of censorship that prevents you from doing business and induces destitution. Or as I like to call it: getting banned by mods. Szmitten fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Nov 1, 2021 |

Yeah, it's mostly absentee landlords because it's a lot easier to sell the house when you have a few months where they're away from it. This person was just caught away from home for an extended period for other reasons.

I wonder how they initially got access to the house.

Indeed - I was out of my flat for months in a row last year while I was at my parents over the whole lockdown period.
