or even, mould .... I wish these yanks would learn to spell.

The law is different here of course and people being reposessed have every incentive to leave the house in a decent condition because the banks will come after them for any gap between the sell price and what they owe.

i have seen several houses in the UK that had been repo, walls inside had been knocked down, general damage and lack of maintenance..........This is very applicable as any further downturn in the states affects UK banks...... only gordon brown would say such a stupid thing...lol
