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.

Yeah, possibly.400ixl said:What about a neighbour of a family member who may know you?
It could be a good excuse to go and introduce yourself to the neighbours you don't know yet.0 -
I'm not sure if it's just a signature or they want something more, so far they've asked me to provide someone's name, address and email. They want to email them a letter then have them sign it I think, I don't know if that's it or there's more to it.subjecttocontract said:In my lifetime I've needed to have many documents signed/witnessed et c and I've used......neighbours, work collegues, solicitor, bank officials, my local church and on one occasion a church I had never previously been to, my local store owner etc, etc. I'm sure there are literally hundreds of people/ occupations who could and would sign it if only you were to ask them......and if a stranger turned up on my doorstep and asked I would sign it for them. It's really no big deal.0 -

put as much effort into finding out what is required as you are in positing on here
I cannot accept that asking a neighbour is impossible, they do hot have to be friends. Yes the first may refuse, so go ask the next0
