    Good lord, what a strange forum. First I am mistaken for someone who has apparently been banned, and now I am "Toots". Does this stuff die down after a while?

    So anyone buying one as a repo would get a sitting tenant?:confused:

    Can't see many FTB's jumping in (unless they felt like sharing....:D)

    ASTs only last 6 month - if it was me as a tenant, I'd be off.

    My B-i-L bought a house with a sitting tenant and gave the guy notice a while after he completed on the place. It's not the end of the world

    My FIL remembers Ashford as a village and he,s only 66....There are some very RICH farmers around the area now.......But then you never see a farmer on a bike.....

    Hawkinge is another place where the Wilsons have bougth a lot of houses. I remember Hawkinge as a village in the 70s. It was in the middle of nowhere and was used mainly as a shortcut from Folkestone to the A2. Just a few houses, with one shop, a disused air field, two very rough council estates, a crematorium, a council rubbish tip and then they built one of those area rubbish burners, just round the back of the cricket club.

    Apart from the airfield (where they built a massive housing estate) all the rest of it was still there when I last visited and I noticed they had built another housing estate nearer the rubbish burner. Plus there is a fixed speed camera.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.
