My sister persuaded her then-boyfriend to buy the house two doors down from my parents at auction while back, which he did without a proper viewing because he'd seen it loads of times, and without paying attention to the contract because he'd 'bought loads of houses'.
When he bought it, he found that:
-The tenant had a lifetime tenancy
-The cash-strapped former public corporation it had belonged to had written into the contract that the buyer would have sole responsibility for the septic tank servicing the row of houses - which had recently overflowed
He thought he was just a canny buyer who'd got a right bargain.
