  • Try them, you may be surprised.
  • If you want rid that badly, get in touch. I'll give you £100 for it :beer:


    Don't just accept the first offer, I will go to £200.

    £250 from me! And you can have a caravan.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My house which I own outright is very large 4000 sq ft part 17 cent. it is a nightmare to heat as no central heating and hot water it leaks water from the roof and loads of water pipes, threadbare carpets and lots of fused lights, full of clutter.

    I have had enough and plan to abandon it to whatever - can anyone stop me - tough if they can.
    Sell it as a building plot.

    There's no VAT on new builds, so they can be cheaper than refurbishing.

    Lots of people are looking for self-build plots.
  • If the house was abandoned, officialdom will not be interested in it, however petty criminals, drug addicts and travellers might be interested in it. The OP living on the site in a caravan might not deter these people from using the house for their own purposes.
