We moved about six weeks ago now and are currently on holiday. We have someone staying in the house at the moment who told me this morning that one of the previous owners had come round to read a meter yesterday. Six weeks later? Came round w.o ringing or anything, I assume he knocked (we have changed the locks). Makes the observation: Yeah, it's a bit strange to be back in the property. No kidding mate.
This is on the back of our finding out one of them still had a car registered to the house (complete with summons' re parking tickets/fines/threatening letters suggesting the next step would be ballifs).
Okay, so I'm thinking, this is a grown man, he's got to know that after six weeks whatever the reading was when he left the property it's going to be DIFFERENT now. So, what's he doing anyway?
On a scale of not too weird to really quite weird, where is this?
Gievn the situation with the car as well, is it worth doing something like asking our solicitor to write to their solicitors saying, please sever your ties to the property at this point, or some such. Or am I just being a bit uptight? DH thinks yes, other friends totally outraged, think write the snooty letter.
