How strange - a shared pond!!

I'd be more concerned about the abilities of an estate agent who spells accommodation "accomadation"

Oh and the green isn't the colour of the water, it's a floating plant that spreads across the water with tiny, little leaves. Looks nicer up close. Whose responsibility is it to feed the fish?

I did see a title register once saying a pond could not be moved, there before the houses were built.

It is duck weed on the surface that makes it look green you can just scoop it of and put it on your compost heap. That pond is about as natural as a plastic spoon 'natural' I think the estate agent is using that rather than 'unmaintained'. I wonder if your allowed to fill in your half :rotfl: .

All in all its a monstrosity, waste of space and dangerous. No im not anti pond I have one and children, I do not leave them unattended near it and i built a natural fence round it (low thorny bushes :cool: ).

Although, given the fence around it on this side of the boundary, I suspect the current owner would rather it wasn't there at all.

Well quite a lot of people don't want the work of a pond nor the kiddy drowning risk - but with a shared pond you don't even have the option to fill it in easily.... why the estate agent put it in the details I don't know as they'd be better off getting feet throuhg the door and hoping someone loves the rest to get over the offputing pit like thing...

Yeah the EA should have tried to hide the fact that it is there not promote it! It's hardly a selling point!

You would think they would have made their bed before they took the picture...

Looks like mushy peas to me.
Going to check the bed, never noticed first time round.

For someone who's hobby is radio-control model boats, it could be ideal.

Isn't it even weirder than all that...

Look at picture 10. Isn't that the pond on the right side of the photo, surrounded by a wooden fence? (If you look at picture 11, you can see one of the fence posts sticking up in the bottom right corner of the photo). Presumably, they put the fence there to stop children falling in. Which begs the question...

Why is there a giant trampoline right next to it?! Safety first or what?!

or a rc submarine, you could infiltrate the [strike]enemy's[/strike] neighbours waters without them even knowing.
