Birmingham Airport

If you became the new occupant / owner of a property and then discovered the following:

1. Lots of auxiliary locks behind every door + old alarms.

2. A serious smell of May J upstairs.

3. Evidence of cut and paste work on the walls and floors.

4. Strangers from waiting cars knocking and looking for " Mike, Lee, Ray..." and so on.

Would it be a good idea to check with the police if they have a history with the property or would it be be better to shut the hell up and get on with it?

I'd have checked all that shit out before purchasing in the first place.

"I'd have checked all that shit out before purchasing in the first place."

Your opinion but if you've gone that route before, you will realise that those are never checked when looking for a property whether to rent or buy. Solicitor checks legal documents, the other check is structural integrity, proposed developments, propensity to be flooded, etc. You get my drift?

Even if you check with the police and they confirm your suspicion, what difference will it make?

Get on with it as you'd planned, I reckon

But there's nothing stopping me from doing my own homework such as asking neighbours, asking the local coppers, asking local shopkeepers who know all the local gossip. Why would I rely solely on the official stuff that conveyance solicitors do? That would be foolish.

When you purchased it, didn't you go and view it a couple of times? In between exchange and completion on this house I did as well as before I put the offer on - if the smell is that strong would you not notice it?

I also spoke to my neighbours - that might have helped you as well.

The police might not be able to say anything though.

Look at the positive side, if there is a zombie apocalypse your place is pretty secure

I think you've seen the popo outside about to kick your door down and have written this as an alibi/defense.

Did you have a cold when you viewed the property op? Could you not smell it then? Did you not see cut and paste work or ventilation pipes when you looked around?

If there are these issues with the property then surely the onus is on you to investigate before buying

Same here, when I purchased this house I knocked at a few neighbours houses and went of a day time and evening to get a sense of the place.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

So they were doing some horticulture work at home, it's all gone now... You hope! (maybe the neighbours are growing the stuff and using your electricity)

Stick a sign in the door window letting people know there are now new occupants living here and a the previous have moved on.

It may be worth informing the police that you believe there are signs of illegal activity having taken place and a number of unsavoury characters knocking at your door.

They may wish to follow this up or it may assist with another ongoing investigation.

What it will do is get you a visit from the police and a marked car parked outside for a short time which can only act as a deterrent to those that come knocking..

Area is nice. Not a strip of rubbish blowing around. Every house viewing with windows open could even fool a sniffer dog. And if you could smell anything at all at the time, it would seem someone was at it at that very moment somewhere close.

The cut and paste jobs are expertly done. Not unsightly. Very well done.

Anyway, moving on! Can there be no positives in having a friendly chat with the local police?

If there were these concerns before purchase then they should have been used to reduce the price of the house.

Previous history doesn't count for much as long as the house is structurally fine. It's up to you now how it goes in the future.
