I offered to buy this house a few months ago and did not get it.
It came back up for sale today so asked what it sold for and got this reply.
The property is in a small town I have never come across police involvement in a property sale.
Elle s’était vendu au prix de 4000 €. Mais la police municipale a fait peur à l’acquéreur en lui disant qu’il fallait faire les travaux presque avant d’acheter !!
Le service des domaines a fait un mail à la mairie en informant de laisser passer la vente et de laisser aux acquéreurs le temps de rénover sans leur mettre la pression.
Cordialement
Translation
It had sold for €4,000. But the municipal police frightened the buyer by telling him that the work had to be done almost before buying!
The "Service des Domaines" sent an e-mail to the town hall, advising them to let the sale go through and give the buyers time to renovate, without putting any pressure on them.

The Gendames frightening someone I can understand but the Municipal Police being threatening I find a bit hard to believe.
I wonder if they were offering strong advice which was interpreted wrongly.
Also it is not impossible that a semi-derelict house in a small town could be used as a drug selling location - so the local police would like to see the property 'sorted' asap to lessen their burden, perhaps ?

The building has a Mise en péril order against it for the roof, it's in a town with neighbouring properties.

There is a difference between making it safe and renovating it, I'll stick with my first idea

I don't know what UK regs are but I do know that the council intervened in the case of the Carlisle Plaza Hotel

escheat
Another word that gladdens some.
as in -
the lords are taking escheat again.
Buying a house. Be sure to check the plumbing. I remember one tale where somebody brought a house and
subsequently discovered that the toilet flushed directly on to the land at the rear of the house.

On saying that, I have never had contact from the police when I have bought houses with work orders on them. I think the buyers do not have the money to restore the property and are looking for a way out. |
