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.

    Assuming you could manage to make contact with the owner could you maybe offer to tidy up the garden yourself? A weekend of clearing/burning might do enough to not put off your potential buyers?

    Unfortunately I think it's way too far gone for me to be able to do anything. Some of the trees are huge now and I think you'd need specialist tools / contractors and a fair bit of manpower, never mind multiple skips to dispose of it. The garden is completely consumed by brambles and trees.

    The stacks of cardboard, inaccessible garden etc all lead to a potenial fire risk. Utilise this in your key points.

    Raise the concern for the vulnerable reclusive adult

    Raise concerns for your property due to the state of disrepair & neglect by the council to maintain their asset attached.

    Highlight the potential fire risk & tell them you will be asking the local community-based fire safety officer to get involved as well as the local MP

    Demand swift action. Give them 10 days to provide a written response with some form of action plan.

    Be concise and don't ramble.

    I'll write them another letter this week covering all these points and the other items people have helpfully mentioned.

    Thank you
