It's been a long time and I had hoped things were moving forward but once again things slow down. After sentencing, my person's house was spray painted, we had planned for him to move closer so I could keep an eye on him, this just made it happen sooner. So we have been getting the house fixed up and ready to sell and it has been on the market for the last few months. Now the estate agents have said they will no longer represent him because of his criminal record as they will have to disclose. Has anyone managed to do this successfully?

My house was targeted - graffiti and burglary - by a neighbour. My husband was no longer living in the property. 2 years down the line I have just sold it. Like you it was a renovation project which I had neither the money or inclination to finish.



I was worried that people would put two and two together and realise that one of the owners was on the SOR - a distinct possibility as it was almost over the local press.



Thankfully nothing happened and it sold within 3 weeks. And I'm glad to be out of there.
