"In an up and coming area" Read "Ghetto"
"Potential for improvements" Read "Slum"
"Potential for expansion" Read "Shoe Box"
Never trust those scoundrels. |

Friendly neighbourhood - curtain twitching nosey bastards
Close to amenities - next door to 24hour corner shop and on a busy bus route
Open to negotiation - deliberately overpriced
Escorted viewing only - Yeah I'll come with you, but I'll stand in the garden and don't expect me to actually know anything
Under Offer - No it's not but I gotta do something to drum up some interest
Sold - Unless a better offer comes in |

About a month ago she found a house she liked put in the asking price and was accepted GREAT only thing the people that owned the house had not found anywhere else!!!! so give them time we said!!! they found somewhere had a builder look it over for alterations,then she heard nothing,her sale completes Mid March, got a call from the Estate Agents who said because it's going to cost more than they thought to move they want another 10 thousand for their property,luckly she had not had the house surveyed yet,but what are some people like what happened to not going back on your word, shaking hands on the deal,what sort of example are they showing their children,you can treat others anyway you like as long as you get what you need,well I hope this old saying come's true for them WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. She is now looking again but will have to store her stuff and move back in with us
