Not the best worded title but I'm tired.
I am mentoring a PGCE student who's the same age as me. We get on brilliantly and she's a really lovely person. Her and her DP have had me over for dinner and I consider a friend as well as a "mentee." She is of Bangladeshi heritage but has never left England. She's also a Muslim and wears a headscarf. (This is relevant.) Her DP is white British.
They've just moved up here and had to take a short term contract on a little house they're not keen on. They're desperate for something rural where they can grow stuff, have a big garden and keep animals. I live in a cluster of 6 houses in exactly this environment. It's gorgeous and inexpensive. One of the houses is shortly going to become vacant. It would be their absolute dream house based on what they've said, and I feel I should let them know about it.
However.
This chap who lives in one of the other houses is the most racist, intolerant, vile person I've ever met. He is ex forces and has some pretty horrific views, and what I would consider an ingrained hatred of everyone and everything non-British. I had the misfortune to invite him and his wife to my birthday party and he was utterly foul. I know if my friend lived here she could "stay out of his way" but he's the type who would go out of his way to be unpleasant. (He has a long standing grudge against another resident and the police have been round to his a few time in recent months, so God knows what he's been up to.) Every time I've had to spend time with him I've left feeling more and more pissed off by him.
Should I let my friend know about this house? Would it be fair to tell her but mention this man? Really unsure.
