Hello robgraham

were watching last night I said to SWMBO that it looked
like that house we looked at, so today on my travels I
went to look and there it was gone, plot of land
surrounded by a metal safety fence. Thank goodness the
vendors didn't say "Meet us halfway and it's yours"

Missed it. Put off by tacky advertising.

Surely the current owners must have employed a surveyor who presumably
missed all of it? Unless they were cash buyers.
