Apologies I can't be bothered to read 21 pages. Why can't you do the inspection yourself?0

But the neighbour has spotted a wolf in the house and is stalking the tenants. The OP then asked his sister to inspect, but she decided to put on her best 'murder she wrote' outfit and investigate the tenants claim to be on holiday!
Come on keep up!0 -

She lives in scotland the property isn't in scotland.
If you have a spare hour the 21 pages are worth reading.
A wolf, a harrassment case, a tax avoidance scheme, missing agents, drugs farms and an 1700s mattress.0 -
Because the OP is many miles away from his ancestral home ( a flat), which is filled with 18th c. furniture and the agent has run off with the deposit and a large chunk of rent. The OP is also liable to HMRC for a tidy sum in tax.

here goes! <Spoilers warning>
England, (but not really England) medieval times. The scots are kept at bay by a Donald trumpesque wall of ice. The queen (who quite likes her brother) stops being queen for a little while, then starts being queen again. in the east some slaves are freed. A woman gets set on fire, but gives birth to some dragons. The north rebels a few times. The walking dead turns up for a while after some children stabbed a chap in the chest. And a young girl learns some excellent make up tips. there's some mild nudity and scenes which some viewers may find distressing (looking at you Ser Clagaine!)0 -

My sister just phoned me to tell me that she called around at the property this morning. At first I thought that there had been a misunderstanding about times, but it transpires that she decided she would visit early as she did not believe the tenants to be on holiday as they claimed and was suspicious.
I am fully aware that this was a bad idea. Her justification was that if there was anything going on that shouldn't be, they would just hide it before a planned inspection.
She did not reveal her identity/mention the inspection and she is under the impression that she did not appear suspicious and that the girl who answered the door (as they are in fact not on holiday) could never know that this had any connection with me. If she is wrong and they do somehow piece it together has she/have I committed any kind of offence? This was completely unknowing on my part and I did absolutely not instruct her to do this.
Goodness me, all these people determined to interfere on your behalf without your instruction! First your neighbour, now your sister... you really need to keep an eye on them - they're the ones causing you issues, not your poor tenants!
To echo others, that's going to make it awkward on Thursday, isn't it? Your sister will need some nerve to brazen that one out. Or just cancel the inspection and leave them in peace.
If I'd been away for a long weekend, maybe getting back Monday night, I'd probably have tried to arrange an inspection for later in the week rather than the first day back as I wouldn't have had time to tidy over the weekend (general tidying before having any visitor round, not implying dog-, baby- or meth lab-hiding tidying) or unpack. Nothing suspicious about that at all.0 -

Oh thank you. I've never seen it either. Now I know I don't need to bother. This thread would make a far better tv series.0 -

Yes, this is correct and I am rather irate about it.0 -

Yes, she didn't think about what would happen if she couldn't actually get in that way. Now I am going to have to travel all the way down myself, I just don't don't have any alternative.If I'd been away for a long weekend, maybe getting back Monday night, I'd probably have tried to arrange an inspection for later in the week rather than the first day back as I wouldn't have had time to tidy over the weekend (general tidying before having any visitor round, not implying dog-, baby- or meth lab-hiding tidying) or unpack.

I agree that she is meddlesome and have had a word with her, but the result of this is that she has now started sending her 'updates' to my sister instead of me.0 -

Excuse me, but the 'flat' is only part of the ancestral home which which great sadness had to be divided into separate dwellings and some of them sold to pay the death tax, on some complicated leasehold. Mine is a substantial three-bedroom dwelling taking up a good portion of the ground floor. I also still own some of the grounds and outbuildings. My sister foolishly decided to sell her portion to live in a modern house, but my late brother's was passed to his children. Therefore over half of the value of the estate remains in the family and I feel justified in regarding it still as our estate and having a huge sentimental attachment to it.0
