big housing development going to happen at the back

Family of tatters - buying and selling cars to the side

Ignorant low life the other side.


do I tell prospective buyers all is rosy? or keep stum?


No fooooker told me when I bought it, so veering towards keeping stum, but think the searches at some point will throw up the housing development, so may have to tell them about that.

Local search via solicitor will confirm any planned development.
New housing sites are not something that put buyers off in my experience.
Don't say anything about your neighbours.
If asked,say you prefer your privacy and don't have much contact with them.

Good advice tenpins

But... do I tell them about the development or wait until they do the searches and let their solicitor give them the good news?
Report tenpins • July 21, 2014 9:17 PM BST
Tell them if they ask, if not there is no need to mention it.

Anyone with half a brain would spend a few hours a day at various times sussing out the neighbourhood for a week. You're not in a good position Emden.Sad

Does it mean Tattooed persons?
Report bix • July 22, 2014 11:45 AM BST
Tatters is a Midlands expression.
When answering the purchaser's enquiries never answer yes or no.
Use expressions like "I believe so" or "not as far as I am aware of".
A decent solicitor shoul;d put you right.

I sold my place a couple of months back, and tenpins advice is the right advice.

ah is this it?

Why do we call Wolves "The Tatters" ?

From Glynis Wright:

This is a bit difficult to explain, there are subtle nuances implicit in this sobriquet for Wulves supporters, which locals understand but outsiders might not. In the Black Country, the term 'Tatter' means someone who earns his/her living collecting and selling to scrap merchants bits of copper, brass, lead etc. As these items are usually acquired under somewhat dubious circumstances i.e. a midnight 'visit' to local factories, for example, the term has come to mean someone who's little better than a common thief, slightly 'infra dig', if you get my drift.

the Wolves are known as the dingles in the midlands



but the tatter description is bang on the money sideshow.

Tat is scrap. A tatter is a scrap metal collector(derog. term)
