Man shocked to find house stripped of all furnishings after it was sold without his knowledge
A man has described his shock at returning to his house and finding it stripped of all furnishings after it was sold without his knowledge.
A BBC investigation found Mr Hall's identity had been stolen and used to sell the house and bank the proceeds.Mr Hall, who was away from the property and working in north Wales, said he received a call from his neighbours on 20 August, saying that someone was in the house and all the lights were on."I went to the front door, tried my key in the front door, it didn't work and a man opened the front door to me," he told"I pushed him to one side and got in the property.
The man said he was doing building work, to which Mr Hall replied: "I haven't sold the house. This is still my property." "At that point the police said, 'Well, there's nothing further we can do here. This is a civil matter; you need to leave the house and contact your solicitors.'""I was shocked - having seen the house in the state it was, I was in a bit of a state of shock anyway - but then to be told by the police they didn't believe a criminal offence had been committed here was just unbelievable," he said.
