    Sounds great! Let them do it, refuse to exchange, then sell their stuff and enjoy your free shed!

    There are sheds...and sheds.

    About 25 years ago, a neighbour, fortunately not next door, casually mentioned he was getting a shed for his model railway set. I didn't think any more about it until the 30' 'thing' arrived and trees were felled to make room for it.

    After that, every Tuesday evening, nerdy men in raincoats descended on our cul-de-sac, furtively clutching their Hornby Dublos......

    Believe me, it was scary stuff. We kept the kids indoors.


    Don't do it!

    Men clutching their Hornby Dublos in a residential area is guaranteed to bring local house prices down, especially if original 3 rail

    Have you discussed this with your solicitor, or just with "some people" and "some anonymous weirdos on a web forum"?

    I resent being called an anonymous weirdo on a web forum. I'm not anonymous.

    the buyers asked if they could get someone in to measure up for bedroom cupboards. We couldn't see the harm in it and said they could. Then they wanted to have them installed while we still lived there. Things went downhill from there.

    I can't be the only one dying to know the rest of that story! Did you let them fit wardrobes?!

    I won't claim that the impression it leaves on the mind is entirely unintentional! :rotfl:
