We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Surely if anyone can look up any house and get the owner's name via LR, it doesn't really matter whether or not the RM link is posted here or not?

    But you can't glean other useful personal information from rightmove like "i'm going away for 6 weeks next month and I need to get my house sold before then"

    But most people wouldn't want to post their full name and address alongside their username on an open forum like this one. In fact, if you did that you'd probably find that the moderators would delete it.

    i'm intrigued. the only one I can find is the buyer wishing to bury their dog in the vendors garden? is that the one? surely its a wind up?

    That's the one, I'm not so sure it was a wind up, the upshot was the buyer pulled out after reading the thread (so the story went), it's one of those you couldn't make it up type threads:D

    I posted my house and pictures that i had bought on hpc and i had some weirdo pm me telling me some weird things, never again,lesson learnt.
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
