    But not enough empathy to sell to him, eh?

      I was going to until the other offer came in

      But seriously, more than the money it's the hassle I'll save by selling to the investor... I don't want to evict the tenant, who hasn't caused me any hassle this past year.

        Is he a substantial chap who is never far from a pie?

          Amateur.

          I'd evict the tenant and sell to the young guy...

          ... then gazunder him by at least £20k just before exchange of contracts takes place.

                I was feeling quite upbeat before I read that, now I feel beside myself with doom. It's all completely futile. The doom has gone to 11.

                  Can't we just shoot anyone with a second property?

                    Was around at the wife's Aunties property at the weekend that has just finished being refurbed - looks good and while we were there the next door neighbours visited - they are an Eastern European family renting, and their landlord is selling up, so were enquiring if the maisonette was being sold or being rented as they would like to stay in the area
                    The owners of the maisonette above the Aunties (who had just sold theirs for a crazy amount of money) said they were a lovely family and kept the property spotless - so she told the EE's to go through the agent and it looks like a done deal

                    Annoyingly this is contrary to my belief that we should exit the EU which would mean no more EU migrants to fill our properties - quite a dilemma
                    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                      Just in the process of selling our place. Nothing to do with the change in policy, however.

                      So if all this property comes on the market we'll have ourselves weak demand and supply swells, rental prices collapse a little, profits fall, rates go up.

                      Yes, it's doom.
