in House buying, renting & selling
Make sure when u are buying a house to get everything checked out and make sure u ask lots of questions bc the sellers will cover stuff up just to sale or leave out info that is important

    We could do with a list of useful questions, as I always forget to ask something!
    Any suggestions.....

    1. How old is the boiler and when was it last serviced?
    2. How much are the utilities?

    erm mind's gone blank..!!

    5. Why are you moving? Interesting to hear their answer, if they get nervous and sound like theyre hiding something, be suspicious!
    6. Ask what the neighbours and neighbourhood is like.
    7. Ask if theres any restrictive covenants, eg no caravans, or conservatories without permission from builders if house was recently built.
    8. If they have a conservatory or out buildings, ask if they have all the correct permissions

    I'd be tempted to report it purely on the poor English alone. How people and organisations expect to drum up custom from crud like that confuses me, but I daresay these particular idiots are scamsters rather than conventional business-people
