Bet the bugger takes all the lightbulbs with him when he moves on the grounds he paid for them. Not suggesting for a single moment that this has become a middle-class site, but there seems to be an assumption the seller owns the property? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Why would you erect a fence in a rented property? My sister-in-law and partner have erected a fence (illegal* I may add), done out the loft (illegally) and ripped out the kitchen to replace it with one they bought from ebay/gumtree. I think some folk don't realise renting is different to buying. If they ever leave that house and are handed the massive bill, they will still complain. * I don't know what the correct word is. It's far too high for where it's placed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Converting a loft without planning permission and replacing the kitchen in a rented property is absolutely bonkers. What were they thinking?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'd dig the hedge up and take it with me when I move. Maybe sell it on the internet. Hedge for sale with large arachnids attached.

I suspect if they asked for permission to rip out the kitchen it would have been given the ok but it's a big risk to be making those kind of modifications in a council house. And as I say, if the council kick up shit when they leave they'll moan about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was a teenager my mate phoned me and said to get down to his as he'd had his loft converted. Got there and for some reason he just had a front door sitting across the beams and a torch hanging on a piece of string with fibreglass insulation making the place look homely. I stayed for five minutes. To this day I have no idea how the door got there 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Seem to remember somebody in Dundee got in trouble for converting his council tenement flat into a theatre/cinema. Knocked down walls, put a stage in and everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
