Next door to us is a rental, we are in a terrace so our houses are exact opposites layout wise, it's empty atm and plenty of people have been looking round with the agent and the landlord. One couple came on sunday with their parents (and without the agent, LL etc) to basically look through the windows and try the back door (which is through a gate and back yard).
They then came through OUR back gate (we were sat having lunch with my parents and grandparents in the dining room) and the father (I assume) stepped through our open back door (whilst knocking on it) and proceeded to ask if they could have a look round our place as it is the opposite so they could measure up a bit for furniture etc. To say I was slightly taken aback is putting it mildly, I practically had to push him out of the kitchen, the rest of them were peering in the dining room and kitchen windows and I said it was inconvenient, we were having lunch etc and opened the gate for them to leave. They kept asking questions about parking, the street etc and I was quite short with them that they should just ask the letting agent or LL, I am busy etc H had to come out and asked them to leave (not rude but firm and he's quite a big guy so they did get the message).
Nowt as strange as folk! They have now just come to the front door and asked if now was a convenient time for them to have a look and measure up, the LL is on holiday and they couldn't get hold of the letting agent so they thought that I wouldn't mind. I told them it wasn't convenient that I was working from home and busy, they didn't get the hint and kept pushing, they could come back later if I wanted! the father even tried to get a foot in the door. I ended up just saying no and closing the door in their faces.
Is this normal to want to look in your prospective neighbours home? fecking cheeky beggars
