What really pi**es me off is why the serving members were not given a first refusal of the quaters. It was muted in the early stages that the MoD would sell the houses off cheap if you were allready serving. Then some high ranker said 'sod that' and instead of dealing with say 50000 seperate deals, they sold the lot off to a half Jap firm in a 1'er.
Cheers.. I know for a fact that some of the MQ's in this area were sold off at £12k a house to Annington...who in turn charged £70 when they sold them off after a meagre £2k of renovations on them!
Once again the forces are shafted by the HMG and Annington..
Read the one about the Queue of buyers in Kent? The houses went up some £20k in the 5 weeks that people were waiting for them. Concequently many people who had been queueing for 5 weeks could no longer get a mortgage for the amount Annington were asking for... I just hope that there is a massive price crash and Annington feels the pinch.. Ha,Ha.. sour grapes and all that..
