Yay for big companies stomping on smaller companies
who were asking for 250k less than your own guy reckoned was fair! The nerve of some people...

you would be right in some circumstances
not in this one. can't say too much because (i) you would die of boredom and (ii) it is confidential, but in brief, we had a really strong word-up that they were only going to knock the property down, so why should they have pocketed anything for carrying out repairs they were never going to do?

these guys were complete tools whilst they were my client's landlord, greedy money grabbing tools. they then ran out of money because they bought shit loads of properties at the peak of the market in 2006/7 and then it crashed, and they had been so arrogant with their tenants that none of them would give them any sort of a break!

Landlords?
I formally retract any hint of sympathy I may previously have expressed.

Did they own Blackacre?

they did
but then they merged the title with whiteacre and granted an overriding lease of redacre............ you clearly know the painful script!
