    What interests me is why someone would explicitly state on a website that they bought in Dec 09 and then provide a bank statement which indicated that the likely purchase took place in Jan or Feb 10?

    what interests me is why someone who bought two flats in 2007 wouldn't know the difference between offer and completion.


    Happy new year pimp. ;)
    Lets hope it brings you everything you deserve.

    Oh, so when you said you bought in Dec 2009 you meant you made an offer in Dec 2009. Is that correct?

    For the avoidance of doubt this is what you said:
    "I have no Idea why they are so upset about the fact that a single individual bought in December 2009".

    Here's more evidence of the December purchase from over the other side:
    Well last december I popped up the 1 as my avatar. The fuddiots were oblivious to it.

    and more:
    Pimperne1 bought 2007.
    Hamish bought 2007.
    Fubra bought 2007.

    Geneer bought December 2009.

    There's something a bit fishy about someone who moved into his new house when he bought it (presumably) and repeatedly trumpeting that as December when in actual fact it was January or February. Why would anyone choose December when the actual purchase didn't take place in December (might as well give the date you first saw it if it suits your agenda).

    Your little "That's when I put in an offer" is a bit like my "Oh, I remember it well when my team won the Scottish Cup on that Tuesday morning". Passerby "Sorry, did you say your team won the cup on a Tuesday morning"? "Yup, that's when I reserved my ticket, although if I remember correctly the actual match was on a Saturday (here's a copy of my bank statement showing the ticket payment going out)".

    When you say "sold" do you mean:

    The first day someone came to see your property.
    The day the person came back for a second viewing (if they did).
    The day they made an offer.
    The day they made a better offer.
    The day you exchanged contracts (if they do that in Scotland).
    The day you completed the sale.

    (because its not as straightforward as you might think). :o

    When you say "bought" (Oh, never mind).......

    I see on CC you say that the other thread discussing your purchase was probably removed "because of the sheer ferocity of the wall of rage aimed at you". :rotfl: I think it more likely it was lifted because the Forum Team were reluctant to see you taking any more ridicule (and most likely because you complained first of all). ;):o
