    It's going to be way cheaper and much less hassle if you answer the door with a smile and explain that you just moved in. I had debt collectors turn up for a couple of months and one call from the police after a football supporter ban was breached, christmas cards have recently stopped and letters from their pension company still arrive. I've been here 13 years now. I mostly feel bad about the christmas cards because the sender doesn't think to include a return address themselves and I don't have a forwarding address.

    We bought a house where the owner had passed away 6 years ago and we still get the xmas cards, same i feel sad they don't know but no way of tracing where to send them back.

    What exactly don't you like about the property? Can it be changed? If it can't be changed, you may get used to whatever it is that bothers you now - and a year from now you will wonder why you were so bothered by it.

    Definitely not a good idea to re-sell this soon after buying. Any potential buyers are going to of course wonder why you are moving so fast and either be put-off completely, or think you are desperate and put in low-ball offers.
