It’s an old house but shit me!! Apparently used to be the site of the local church pre 14th Century and during foundation work next door they found human remains. Some of which extend to (and beyond) the boundary with the property we are buying, ie the back garden. I can’t get the image of the swimming pool at the end of Poltergeist out of my mind  
Plus side, do you think this is worth renegotiating the offer price? I'd want a little more evidence. Get a shovel, go out, and start digging around..... 
Pre 14th century, would be prior to 1300s. That's a long time for human remains to be around, unless it's special soil/climate. If you're going to renegotiate your contract, get hard facts. Is there a local university with an archeology department that could be of help? | |

 I wouldn't involve the University unless you want your backyard to achieve world heritage status  | |

Big deal.  The place where I live was once the site where "witches" were burned and beggars were burried alive.
Honest! That's how it looks today.  [Edited 9/24/07 15:47pm] I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

Isn't it? No, I'm actually the owner of this part of Warsaw. 
Okay. I don't live inside the wall, but this is where I walk my dog. My small way of paying homage to the buried. [Edited 9/24/07 15:52pm] I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

PANDURITO said: I wouldn't involve the University unless you want your backyard to achieve world heritage status There's nothing to dig up. It must be based on documents that a cemetary existed. (With mummies, they were imbalmed, preserved with climate, and above the ground environment.) The rest of us are excrement of worms and bugs. Which is why I'm an organ donor, leftovers donated to biology classes to dissect, and want anything else to be cremated.... | |

I think I would be freaked by it a little bit. Sometimes I wake up in the middle on the night and am convinced that someone is in the house. I build up the courage to go and investigate with my trusty flick knife in my hand. if I lived there I would be more inclined to walk around with holy water in my hand 
Am sure it will be fine. Are you moving far? | |

The property is only Grade II listed, English heratage have a Property on the other side of the road. I spoke to them about it and also the County Archeologist. She is going send me all the history and documents once the purchace goes through. Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

Plus side, do you think this is worth renegotiating the offer price? If you can find any surviving relatives you could try charging ground rent

sonic said: I would get it blessed by a priest....SERIOUSLY , that is creepy
I don't believe in priests. I wouldn't mind if the ground next door hadn't been disturbed. The remains are being moved and reburied I believe. I just hope they don't leave some poor sods torso in my garden and take his legs because he had the misfortune to be buried spanning the boundary Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC).

JustErin said: luv4u said: Don't buy the property!
Why? It's no big deal at all, but you might be able to get your price reduced (because of people who think like Luv). I did toy with idea, but there are more pressing issues that will put us off like £ for refirbishment. I actually quite like the idea like emm said emm said:  ... i think it's kind of neat.
centuries of civilization no matter where you tread but you have a bit of history right there
now, the house how old is the house? mine was built in 1940 and considered old around these parts
They belive that the main (middle) part of the house is around 1450, although with the latest findings it could be older. Somewhere btween 500-600 years old. Most of the refirbishemnt is Georgian (Early 17 hundreds to early 18 hundreds). Surprisingly this is the stuff with the problems, new builders eh?
