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.

Buying Property from the Church

Comments

  • Buying from the Church can be a nightmare. You're not negotiating with a single vendor, you're dealing with a committee......

    And you will never ever ever speak directly to the Chairperson.

  • What's that other thing called where you need to be very wary - about continued liability towards the associated church properties? You know, the "Welcome to your new cottage. By the way, the church roof needs replacing, and you are liable for the bill..." thing?
