I'm sure I've read a thread about this somewhere, but after two days of searching I can't find what I want.
We bought a duplex half about 18 months ago and would really like to buy the other half. The problem is that it isn't on the market. It's a mirror image of ours so I know the floor plan, but apart from being told that it is original condition (ours had been renovated), I don't even know how bad or good it is inside.
I guess my first step would be to find out who owns it which I think I can get through our local council. I can't just drop something in the letterbox as the property is tenanted.
Then what?
If I write a letter how would I word it without sounding desperate. I'm not, just very interested.
Any clues, hints or tips much appreciated.
