Hi All,
I rent out a house which is next door to a for sale property. Naturally I was curious to discover how much theirs was up for, as it's smaller, so i just went onto Rightmove.
Well, I discovered that the chekky wotsits have been into my garden without permission, going through a closed gate in the process and taken a picture of MY (well my tenant's, now) view. You can see the rustic fence erected by us, the kiwi in the corner of the photo...it's blatantly obvious how they got the pic. Next door has a conservatory right up to the boundary and there's no way to that viewpoint without blatant trespass.
I'm less than impressed and have emailed the agent to tell them to remove this picture from the brochures and online ads, informing them of my displeasure!!
Do I have any discourse if they refuse to take it down? Next door do not have the same view - they are the middle of three cottages and put up a tiny conservatory that blocks the view and light to their remaining tiny courtyard. They also have a much higher fence that is overgrown with weeds from theirs and the cropfield side. So, the agents is very much misrepresenting the property, which I have informed them of.
To say I'm fuming is an understatement. My tenant is, too (I phoned to make sure they hadn't given permission). Same agent apparently parked on my driveway on a different occasion and received a right royal bollokking from my tenant (the house two doors down was also going up for sale - this was a separate complaint!).

Aye in this financial climate you need to be selling for a fiver before you can be sure of a sale !
