    This is just a thought: Can you get keys back from your brother? Every time we have moved, OH has had the locks changed just as a precaution. Not everyone does and, if your buyer does not and your brother has keys, I can foresee possible issues with their insurance, should they suffer theft... I don't think this could come back on you but I am, as usual, feeling paranoid, this time on your behalf, lovely AC.

    I cannot remember if you have to list everyone who holds keys to your property on the blurb when you sell and am probably imagining this but don't know for sure. I do vaguely recall you have a legal responsibility to hand over all keys when you exchange... can anyone help with this?
