  • I'm worried about Sunil Dhown and IRD Homes. Do you think they have done something stupid? Their website is still Dhown, they must be losing business.

    Yeah, I felt sorry for them too so I sent them an email via one of their listings on a property renting website to let them know that IRD Homes website was Dhown. I wonder if there will be a swift change of name for their company?

    Answers on a postcard please......:D

    Just checked - IRD Homes is still Dhown
    Don't Panic - and carry a towel
  • Poor IRD Homes.

    When is the funeral, Sunny?
  • O HAI Sunil Dhown. I just wanted to say, it was very clever of you to put a robot.txt file on your server. We wouldn't want more cached versions of your website coming to light with embarrassingly inconsistent claims regarding your experience in the business.

    Since you're monitoring this thread, you should register and have a chat with us. We're eager to hear your side of the story.

    And for the very non-technical among us, what's this robot.txt file thingy - how does that all work?

    BTW, Sunil may wish to update his testimonal to reflection his new contact details:

  • robot.txt is a file you can upload to a server to stop crawlers/spiders from making a copy of the website or including it in search listings.

    Because the website is down, I can't see what the IRD Homes file includes but I presume they have prevented the Way Back Machine from crawling the site.

    In theory, they could use it stop Google from updating their search listings but that would be a silly move.
  • I had a poke around the Bay City Livings site. They seem to have come from the same school of Letting Agents as good old Sunil Dhown. No deposits, meaningless hyperbole and a dubious set of testimonials (est. 2010 and one claims they have known the company for some time).

    Well well well.

    I turn my back for a few days and look at this

    just want to go on record and say how pro-active you have been during my time of knowing and using you as a letting agent, professional and efficient would be a fantastic way to summarise you as a business."

    Could this really be a genuine testimonial, one us moneysavers were after all along, a landlord with real experience of using

    SUNIL DHOWN
    SUNHIL DHOWN
    SUNNY DHOWN
    IRD HOMES
    S DHOWN
    RICHARD ELBY
    KAROLINA
    SLOANE COURT

    Im sure the truth will out MSE style on IRD HOMES new incarnation, no matter what

    We all know, S Dhown will turn up like the proverbial good penny, the found 1p peice on the street that brings nothing but good luck

    Im sorry I might be slightly inebriated this evening and fear the formatting gone to pot

    I love all you IRD HOMES LOVERS, especially those who want to cuddle SUNNY DHOWN

    MWAH from me

    A late night lynz x


    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I was wondering where you were Lynz. I thought you'd been silenced!
