How to buy a haunted house?

On the eve of Halloween, a study was conducted on how UK residents are ghosts in their house. Usually buyers, selecting a home, avoid homes with ghosts. But in fact it turned out that sometimes even the existence of the tenant – cast is a point of agreement. Especially if the house and the place where it lies, shrouded in an aura of antiquity and history. A cast can be part of a contract for the purchase.

Some homes are pursued by ghosts with persistent arrogance and a potential buyer, if it is not too lazy to communicate with local real estate agents, neighbors will hear many fascinating stories and rumors about ghosts. But if a buyer from another area or even buying remotely, without wasting time on research and conversations with local residents, perhaps the rumors will pass it by.

In this regard, the participants of the real estate market stood perfectly reasonable dilemma: “should the estate agent tell a prospective buyer about the presence of ghosts in the house?”. The national Association of Estate Agents the UK requires that they are reported to the potential buyer everything that happened in the object of sale, which may affect the buyer’s decision to purchase, including in cases of suicide or murder, if they had taken place. But the theme of ghosts is an area on the edge of reality, not everyone applies it. And some just are afraid to be ridiculed. Therefore, it is unclear whether the subject of reductions to those essential facts that the agent must tell the buyer.

Real estate agents from England tell a case when one American client is actively looking for a haunted house. As a result of this building he found and the client bought the house. But agents felt somewhat concerned about the deal they had to provide a guaranteed Ghost in the house, but it was mildly outside of their competence. I had them add into the contract the small print of the buyer’s obligation to check for ghosts. Also, often come across buyers who consult with mediums in the search and selection of their property.

In General, disagreements between family members when buying property is not uncommon. Sometimes employees of real estate agencies are trying to resolve these differences. But if any of the family members has a heavy feeling or sharp negative reaction, realtors will recommend to cancel the purchase.

With Halloween lies another serious concern of the owners in respect of damage to property, which occurs usually after the holidays, and by night fires. It is estimated that almost a quarter of homes in the UK after the holiday demanded of a repair totaling 1.38 billion. The most common damage from the eggs thrown on the building – such damage by about 10%. A lot of damage to fences and garden plants. – about 6 %. Damage from fireworks and sparklers to apply about 3 % of homes.
