After all they could sell it to one of theirs at a knock down price.

One of theirs?

No they couldn't. They have been told they must sell it for at least 500,000

[youngmafbog]

It's very odd.

Too much room to sell it to a familly member for 500K then stck it on the market for the 600k the DM reckon it is worth(and with their track record on knowing house prices they are probably right).

Of course Mr Constantine should have given up at first Court hearing, no doubt it was pretty clear at that point no trespass had been done.

Yes they could, the house may well be worth far more than 500k, the DM reckon 600k

[youngmafbog]

//One of theirs? // = a family member or very close friend.

[emmie]

seems a harsh judgement to be fair.

[Islay]

Why is it harsh Emmie?

Thank you YMB, I thought it might set off the klaxon when I typed that.

Some on here are so predictable.

Yes you are AOG - just look at your other posts over the last few days!!
Any chance to put down someone who is not white british and you jump on it!

[youngmafbog]

Pretty obvious really AOG, it would have to be a family member or very close friend in order to potentially enter into shenanigans.

Have you seen the picture of Mr Constantine ? It makes your post look rather foolish.

[emmie]

they have to move by January, that's just a few short weeks away, where are they going to move to.
I agree with ymb they shouldn't have taken it this far,
but i still think its harsh..

[Islay]

Yes I have seen the picture in question!!
But He would not have made these coments and ones in another post had the persons in question been white!

[emmie]

makes no odds on the colour of the two families, they
are both at fault, they could have dealt with this in a more civilised manner, but one has lost out, and has to move..

[youngmafbog]

Islay, you dont know that for certain. AOG potentially gave you some rope and you hanged yourself on this particular thread.

When at the bottom of a hole stop digging !!

It is harsh Emmie but I know someone whose wife would not let a similar dispute go and their bill was larger. Their house was not taken so I can only suspect there is a little more to this story than we are being given.

[emmie]

ymb
seems like there could be enmity going back a long way, not just about the garden fence,

[albaqwerty]

for that amount of eye-watering silly money I was expecting to see a detached des. res. instead of a terraced house, then I remembered, it's London.

For the sake of 3 inches, Mr Constantin has made his family homeless.
Seems to be a bit of an idiot imo.

[anotheoldgit]

A very funny ruling if you ask me, if one owes money and after all they only owed £132,544, surely the bailiffs are generally sent in, then if they can't raise the correct amount the debtor is made to raise it or declare bankruptcy.

In this case the debtor has assets i.e. the house, so he should be free to sell it himself to raise the amount due.

I must admit to not being an expert on debt, since I have never been in debt all my life, but I am sure it won't be long before some expert will be along to correct me if need be.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm no expert in this either, but eight years of misery (at least) and more to come, wealthy lawyers and this is the result.

Dreadful situation - people!
