An update. The property sharing my battleaxe block is finally being listed on realestate.com.au. The neighbour is still mowing my lawn, trimming my hedges and painting my window frames. When I thank him for his work, he still does not tell me that he is selling his house but tells me that he...

The titles to my property seem all right according to my original conveyancer. Yet, I am still in the dark as to what is happening with the property as the neighbours are not giving anything away. We still wave and say hello as per usual. I guess one day I will just see them driving away and...

Thank you for sharing your experience. I wonder what is the nsw equivalent of PDOnline. I will chase this up.

Do you think waterfront properties are heading for a stagnation in terms of price over the next decade?

Happy to see that my paranoia is of some entertainment value. I think I will make enquiries with my original conveyancer and keep you guys informed.

I like it :)

As this is a totally new scenario for me, I naturally thought of the worst and maybe the illogical / irrational. So please don't laugh. My neighbour created the subdivision, did the renovations on my house and sold it to me. I just wonder whether there is any illegitimacy in my land title...

Thank you for your thoughts. It is the most reassuring response as yet. I hope that it is as simple as that and nothing more untoward or sinister.

Nothing illegal is going on. I just wanted to canvas opinions on this matter as I have no experience in this situation.

No I am scared about what is going on. I dont think many people get their houses painted without prior knowledge.

Yes when I saw him painting my house, I still pretended that I did not know what was going on. I wanted to help him preserve his charade that he was just being an exceptionally helpful neighbour. I still don't see the advantage of telling him directly that I know that he is doing a secret sale...

Yes it is lucky that I am on that agent's database of potential buyers, otherwise I would not have known about anything at all. Otherwise, I would have been treated like a mushroom - kept in the dark and fed BS.

I presumed that you informed your neighbour before painting his house. Otherwise he could be prosecuting you for graffiti and vandalism. I was never informed that my house would be painted.

I must say that I did not object to him painting the house. I mean why reject a generous freebie - in fact, I look forward to him doing more free maintenance whilst he is selling his property. I thought about speaking to him directly but did not want to poke a hole in the charade as clearly...

Hang on, I think that if your neighbour is continually mowing your lawns, trimming your hedges and then painting your house without any discussion, it is not unreasonable to speculate that something unusual may be going on. Before all this happened, we just had the occasional hellos and g'days...

I agree that they have no obligation to advise me of anything. However, as one human to another, I find deliberate misdirection when I bring up the topic somewhat difficult. It is one thing not to advise me but lies and deception get to me.

These are logical thoughts / hypothesis. I have had similar thoughts to what you propose. Nevertheless, I don't understand why he would think that I would try to disrupt the sale. We have been on good terms since I moved in and I would not have thought that he thought I was such a type of...

I am somewhat annoyed because I feel that I have been deceived and continue to be deceived. Furthermore, when I bought the house from him two years ago, knowing that it was a battleaxe, I must say that I was partly persuaded to purchase because I thought that he would be a good long term...

:) Good suggestion but makes me even more worried about the motivation behind this covert operation. I have been trying to figure out why since I found out but can't work it out.

No I have bought up the topic indirectly on several occasions leaving him ample opportunity to mention it to me. 1. Me: It is really good that you are around. Him: Likewise. We will be around for some time. 2. Me: Property prices are depressed on our street at present. Him: Lucky...
