I spoke to the chap selling it today when I had a look around but without knowing that they'd set it to "cash only". He seemed to just want to sell, it's been on the market for a couple of years with little interest.

Shame - less. Any news on their properties since? The new RM feature shows the Williamwood site (Clarkston) was pulled from RM on 16th Dec. http://www.rightmove...lias=&bedrooms=
