    We've put our offer in. It's one of over sixty offers put in for the same property. I think our chances of being selected are minimal, so it's probably not something we're gonna have to be worried about  :smiley:
    Oh my!  Is this property special, or really cheap?

    It's this one: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/114144824#/?channel=RES_BUY

    They didn't, the church is selling the property. The tenants they had in obviously left the house in this state.

    60 offers from people who are certain they can complete in 4 weeks 😂
    and a vendor who doesn't understand the buying process.

    Queue whoever ends up buying it complaining that their Solicitor is "useless," and "slowing things down" because the other side said it could definitely be done in 4 weeks based on nothing but unrealistic expectations.

    To house the needy....

    As in a house where someone less fortunate can have a roof over their head with no bills. However it seems they took the mile rather than the inch.
