I Don't Live Here
 

Got home today and found sign on house for sale by auction. Checked the auctioneers website and it seems the house is being sold as Vacant Freehold House.

Do you reckon the landlord is trying to tell us something :D

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Are you still squatting :D

That happened to me many years ago.

We had just moved into a rented house. The day after someone came from the estate agents with a key to measure it up.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

It's costing me £91 a week if I am lol

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

you need to contact teh auctioneer and inform him of your contract. YOU DO HAVE A CONTRACT!!!

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

The landlord probably is one of the 'me no understand' brigade.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Yes I do, going to ring them tomorrow.

Does anyone know what happens to the contract if it's sold. The auction is on 29th March and we have a contract until May 10th.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

No it's a company in Manchester. The directors are Irish.

Basically I have peed them off because I carried out my threat to report them to the HSE for not doing the gas safety checks. I guess this is their way of getting out of it :mad:

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

your a sitting tenent. speak to CAB tomorrow to find out your rights before its sold

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

If I were you Lancsdave, when it is sold at auction threaten to leave, that they will not want, as it will be your track record that will help to sell the house if you have been a good tennant, try to find out what the recomended price is at auction and let me know.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Only been a tenant since mid November. Will send details by pm.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Yep apparently so i see ...but it does warn of a tennacy shorthold :confused: but godknows what that would mean, that the new vendors would have to honour the tennancy till closure then upto them afterwards - thats if it sells

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Could this be local governments attempt at repatriation? Have you been abusing PB in your posts or is it the fact that you have publicly shunned our Stanley?

Either way I hope you get things shorted out mate, good luck…..see you Saturday.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

once you get your deposit back pour curry down teh backs of teh radiators , put some kippers up teh chimney brest and put some meat to rot under the floorboards :D

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Bet the landlords had one of them text messages we were on about in that other thread.:D :D

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

I've just had a letter from the auctioneers. They have said it's being sold as an investment property and it does not affect my tenancy.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Or is it you Dave?Have you had a text message saying your visa has run out and your due for moving back to Nelson????:D :D

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

I'm English, my visa to enter Nelson was revoked as a member of the ethnic minority. :D

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

How does that not effect your tennancy:confused: :confused: god forbid another emergency repair:eek:

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

No idea lol.

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Further update on this. As I mentioned the landlord has got arsey because I reported him. I just phoned the HSE because they sent me a letter the other day asking to provide a witness statement. They say the timescales of the acution mean they won't pursue this breach of law and because the tenants of the other 50 odd properties they have without certificate won't report it then the company concerned will get off with just having my complaint on record.

Whats the point of having H&S laws if nobody is going to apply them ? :mad:

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Annoying isn't it! Burt i suspect that these tennants do not know about their rights or the purpose of HSE, also the fear on top of doing this as like u is losing their homes if they kick up a stink so landlord gets away with it & explains the fact of them putting house up on auction because they know their in too deep & can then start again without the combacks - typically the gov have failed to protect private tennants!!

Have u rung the landlord to find out what happens now as far as information & what if's ??

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Who's Burt :confused: I thought he was called Dave :D

Re: I Don't Live Here
 

Sorry to hear about the continuing hassle you're having Dave. If you are issued with a notice to quit by chance of the new landlords then you have a good case for homeless priority with the council. However, because you have only been in accy a short while they will refer you back to burnley or pendle which ever you were under. If burnley/pendle deem you as statutory homeless then ask for a 213 referral to Hyndburn on the grounds of your daughters schooling.

Good luck :)
