Hmmm. It all depends on whether a prospective buyer initially believes or not. Who knows?

Quote:

If you had a leaky tap, the council I presume would send someone to sort it and pick up the tab? If your central heating was on strike they would fix that too. I suppose that if any other problems arose in your property they should also fix those too even if they were of a paranormal nature?

If something goes wrong with your central heating or taps it faulty installation or parts wearing out or something. But do councils consider paranormal goings-on as something like an "act of God?"

This is one councils approach.

well at least they offered something,i think that the council and all other housing associations should have a clause in events like this,at the end of the day..THEY OWN THE HOUSE,not the tennants.I was bummed off on a few occasions.and that really annoyed me,despite not expecting everyone to believe my claims..

they should think themselves lucky..i cld have asked for a reduction in my full rent,as i was sharing my house with someone,PMSL.

In certain parts of the US it's actually illegal for realtors to not inform a buyer if a house is haunted or some other unusual event took place there (axe murder, etc). They're required to 'fully disclose' any such occurances and some lawsuits have been won based on a failure to disclose.

I wonder what would happen if someone bought somewhere after being told it was haunted and nothing happened. Could they sue?

LOL

Mine was: As far as I know no one has, or if they have I have not heard of it. Most realtors are reluctant to claim a house is haunted as it's perceived by their trade to be a negative trait, like a leaky roof.
