If anyone wants to know the names of the local Gt. Harwood sleazeballs (Solicitors) involved, feel free to PM me  |
When did they sell your dad's house for you?
It does sound like you were ripped off.
Whatever they sold if for, only getting less than fifty percent sounds iffy.
Prices did go crazy locally, around seven years ago.
When I bought my house, I paid more than double than the owner had paid, eighteen months earlier.
This was 2004.
