Help regarding title deeds (scotland)
I am sure this is a scam of some sort but thought I would post here for
information. Basically I am selling my father in laws house and advertised it on a free site, I have received an email bla bla bla that he is interested .............................copy of main content below. Any idea what his scam maybe (or is it genuine) How would he use a copy of the deeds? For what? I googled his email addy and it came up with 3 listings against properties although I couldn`t see his addy in them. "make an offer higher than its market value and buy it. can you email me a site plan which are in your title deeds or you can get from your library.are there any preserved trees/wells/streams,over-hanging trees from neighbouring properties/land,any main drains on your site,any restricitve covenants(email me copy of title deeds because i need to make sure about covenants).are you in a conservation area,greenbelt area. are you aware of any planning policies which will hinder any extra dwelling/s. the deal will not restrict you in being tied until we get planning.you can still sell it whilst we apply for planning,that's the risk we take. before we waste each others time we need a copy of your site plan/title deeds. all i have to go on is the particulars on the internet of your property.i cant make a definite decision without a plan i can then send you a draft agreement once you have done the above and want to proceed. i await your reply and site plan/title deeds " |

May also be aware that adverts for property in free ads may be from unsophisticated vendors acting without rigorous professional advice behind them, which if there is a scam involved would also make them more of a target. Solicitor will not actually need paid until the payment for the property is cleared , phone round and ask for a quote , some of the stuffed shirts will fall over at being asked to `quote like a plumber` , next, the yellow pages is full of them. Even see a couple , should be happy to tell you about what they can do for you and why you should instruct them without cost for an intial consultation. Even if you are happy to market a property yourself will still need conveyancing back up and protection from predators.... Cheers Adam |

I will sell through `proper` channels but have just put on a couple of free sites for the time being to see what interest there is within the current market place. I might leave for another month or so before I go `legal` |

My prediction is that he will be (or pretend to be) a developer and he will offer you an option. the story will be that he will apply for PP and if he gets PP he will buy. but essentially this means that you agree a price now and he can choose, in a year's time, whether to buy it at that price. he will expect to pay nothing for this option becuase he "has to bear the cost of the PP application". In reality he gets a valuable option for nothing. if house prices have risen in a year he buys at the agreed price, if not he doesn't. he can't lose. Robert |
