Hi, viewing is not a problem but i am scared because of the bad experience i had Some weeks ago, A man asked for permission to come to my house for payment after he said he is interested in my flat and i got him approved by the council, But i never knew he was a criminal, He came to my flat with some men, to cut the long story short , I was robbed and beaten almost to a state of stupor, Now i think you understand me,. But i don't know how to go about these, But i came up with an idea for anyone who wants to view my flat but i am not sure if you are going to reason with me.
