Insight in to the Scottish Property Auction Market

Fraud and Misrepresentation is not a crime with no victims. Fraud can be a traumatic experience that has real and lasting consequences for victims, their families and dont think anybody is going to help there is nobody your on your own The Property Ombudsman is the organisation that is , to many people calling people scum is childish and that may be true but if you have been a victim then you may change your mind What I find shocking is in Scotland Fraud is not dealt by crimiinal law its under Common law which I find shocking.

I know the fraud act is not applicable but it gives gives a good definition of fraud Section 2 of the Fraud Act 2006 defines the offence of "fraud by false representation," which occurs when someone dishonestly makes a false representation with the intent to gain for themselves or another, or to cause loss or risk of loss to another.

Concealment that than disclousure

You might wonder what I mean about this first unscrouplus auction houses dont record previous sales therefore Zoopla does help heres an example a lady sold a flat in Smithfield st Paisley for £10,000 pounds and it was purchased by Blackpen Associates who were represented by MTL Law the TPO code practice 4b – any figure advised, either as a recommended asking price or as a possible selling price, must be given in good faith and must reflect available information about the property and current market conditions and must be supported by comparable evidence. Agents should never deliberately misrepresent the market value of a property
future
they sold it for thirty thousand pound 11 days later but I cant prove that Future Property Auctions were involved or that John Morris was involved but it has his halmarks The main reason is to lose all traceability of the property in orderer that that they can resell it on maybe unsuspecting buyer

The Property Ombudsman code of Practice

1g – to take special care I think Sandy was failed by this Sandy is eighty years old and under stress due to her husband’s illness. The only care was ripping her off. And not giving good advice she thought her properties sold at auction. As stated, it is true she identifies that she was glad they were sold but that does not absolve FPA duty of care to her she wanted £100000 for each flat they realised that, but John Morris ensured. It was Blackpen that got it and not Sandy can someone tell me how this is looking after a client please.

1i – to keep clear and full written records This has also not been met inaccurate value. Of the guide price £185000 or £195,000 missing properties that were in the advert 57 Busby Road, Carmunnock, Glasgow, Lanarkshire G76 9BN sold for £475,000 June 2021 No record of my complaint being addressed and lied about receiving. the letter. No record of Appraisal for 16 Bankhead Road had to be provided by the Client how does this maintain records. When the client has to provide these records? Another serious loss of important documents

2a – to treat all those involved in the proposed sale or purchase fairly this has also not been met. In that one client lost £52000 pounds another £96000 pounds how this is fairly Not getting home report selling to your dad’s client how is this acting fairly? A parasite making money on the back of FPA clients no one objects. to anyone making a profit. But where is John Morris true duty of care to his clients without clients you don’t have a business?

2b – when instructed, the duty of care is to the seller client. [FPA] must offer suitable advice to meet the client’s aims and needs. In my case and Sandys how has this been met The advice should be always taken it to auction. That’s what Blackpen Associates do. My aim was to get the highest price I could for the property in question, but I can assure you there was no duty of care by John Morris just subterfuge on his part.

2e – consumer requirements are key, and this applies to the buyer as well as the. [FPA] should complete a consumer fact find to ensure that any specific requirements are taken into consideration. I don’t remember doing one of these. Would it be possible to see my requirements? Of mine? Or is that another failure. My main requirement would have been as much money as possible for the property.

4a – when giving advice to someone selling their property, that advice must be in the consumer’s best interests and within the law. The potential benefits and disadvantages of any recommended method of sale must be explained in clear terms and take into account customer requirements as outlined in paragraph 2e. How has this been met by Sandy? How did they meet my best interest I lost £96000 pounds? In that I got no advice and there is no documented evidence to show this fact either the advice that John Morris takes it to auction as he does with Blackpen

4b – any figure advised, either as a recommended asking price or as a possible selling price, must be given in good faith and must reflect available information about the property and current market conditions and must be supported by comparable evidence. Agents should never deliberately misrepresent the market value of a property. A reserve of £205 000 then 4 B has not been met. In my view the £205000 is a Complete misrepresentation of the price and this proven by the selling price John Morris knows the true value within a couple of thousand pounds what a property will sell for table 1 is testimony to this fact.

5g – [FPA] must give the client written confirmation of their instruction to act in the selling of property on their behalf. By law, to give written details of the Terms of Business, including fees and charges, before the client is committed to instructing them. This was met because it’s about their fee FPA. 6b – to provide adequate information to the seller to enable them to understand the basic legal requirement for and nature and relevance of the documents required and authorised to be included in the Home Report, and the report’s use in relation to marketing the property. Provided no home report how the property be correctly marketed without home report. 14d – all written complaints must be acknowledged in writing within 3 working days and a proper investigation promptly undertaken. A formal written outcome of the investigation should be provided to the complainant within 15 working days of receipt of the original complaint. They even told lies about not receiving my complaint. What type of company is this?

Owner of Flats Emails

The Owner of 75 Skirving Street Flats Email Copy

Dear John, First I must apologise for the delay in replying to your e-mail. We have had a string of visitors - now gone so we have the weekend clear before the next lot arrive on Monday! I am running a B&B!!! It was good to meet you and your grandson and hope the following helps your fight.

I have a host of e-mails from Future Property Auctions and will forward copies of the ones I refer to here after this e-mail. I have numbered them and hope it all makes sense. When I first contacted FPA they offered to arrange Home Reports for the flats - see the e-mail of 1/10/21 from me to Stephen and his reply. E-mail one

They were valued by the surveyor at £141,000 and £136,000 as you see from Stephen e-mail of 11/10/21 when we agreed a starting price of 20% below valuation. E-mail two I then received a phone call from John Morris offering £100,000 per flat. I asked if it was possible to up the offer to £105,00 per flat and heard nothing. The flats were put up for auction on 21/10/21 for opening bids of £108,000 and £110,000.

I then received an e-mail from Robin Law at FPA on 21/10/21 to say that the first floor flat had sold for £109,000 to a Pat Gallagher.  E-mail 3. According to FPA he did not pay his deposit and his bid was withdrawn as he could not arrange an adequate mortgage although I was told he was a cash buyer. The flat on the second floor did not reach it asking price and was re-entered for the next auction on 4th November Auction.

You will see from the E-mail I sent to Stephen  the order of events and the fact that on 22nd October I spoke to John Morris he said that he had had an offer of £75,000 for the second floor flat.  E-mail four On the 25th John Morris phoned me and told me he confirmed that the properties had both sold for £75,000 but there had been no auction in the interim period. E-mail 5

To be honest I didn't register the fact that there was no auction in the interim period I was just glad to have sold them as my husband was ill and there were various other family problems (now resolved I'm glad to say) that meant I was not thinking as clearly as I usually do. Both properties were sold to Black Pen Associates.

I note from your table and e-mail that MTL Law put them up for auction on behalf of Black Pen Associates soon after the sale was completed in November 2021.  I also note that both were sold for significantly more at auction less than 5 months later. £21,500 in the case of flat 2/1 and £30,000 in the case of flat 1/2. With best wishes, Sandy

Developer Mode

The Slides editor has a developer mode which is useful if you know a bit of HTML and CSS. With this mode active you will be able to modify the underlying HTML of your deck, allowing you to make adjustments that the Slides editor does not provide interface options for.

To enable the developer mode open the editor settings in the bottom left corner:

Editing HTML

The per-slide HTML editor can be accessed from the slide options area. It gives you raw access to the current slide's HTML, allowing you to change anything you like. Note that some elements, such as <script> and <link>, are not allowed for security reasons.

Element Classes (Requires Pro)

As a paying Slides customer you have access to the CSS editor which allows you to add custom styles to your deck. By turning on the developer mode a new "class name" field will appear for any block that you focus. This allows you to easily target a specific element with your CSS.

Here's an example that defines an "upside-down" class using custom CSS and applies it to a text block.

.upside-down {
    transform: scale( 1, -1 );
}

Slide Classes (Requires Pro)

Just like you can add custom classes to individual elements it's also possible to add custom classes at the slide level. This can used to apply broader changes to the whole slide like inverting text and icon colors or changing the slide transition.

Under the hood the slide background element is separate from the slide itself. Here are two examples showing how you'd target the slide contents or slide background using a custom class called "night-sky":

// Targets the slide contents
.slides .night-sky svg path {
    fill: yellow;
}

// Target the slide background
.backgrounds .night-sky {
    background: linear-gradient(0deg, #141528, #0b1bb2);
}

Export HTML

You can access the complete HTML for all slides in your deck inside of the export panel, under "Export to reveal.js". This provides a way of exporting your deck markup and the core Slides styles to reveal.js. There are a few limitations with exporting this way but it should provide a good starting point.

CSS Editor (Requires Pro)

The CSS editor lets you author custom styles for your presentation with a real-time preview of the result. It's available as an option inside of the Style panel of the presentation editor.

The editor preprocesses styles using LESS, though you're free to write plain CSS as well. We apply the styles in real-time as you type so there's no need to leave the editor or even press a refresh button to see what you're getting. Note that when your styles are saved they will be automatically wrapped in a ".reveal {}" selector to avoid conflicts with other page styles.

Custom Fonts

You can load custom fonts from Typekit and Google fonts and apply them using custom CSS. Find out more.

Developer Mode

If you turn on the developer mode you can also add custom classes to any focused element. This is a convenient way to easily apply your CSS to specific elements.

Examples

// Change presentation background
& {
    background: #a83239;
}

// Change color of body text
.slides {
    color: #009999;
}

// Turn text white if the slide has a dark background
.has-dark-background {
    color: #fff;
}

// Add a blue border to all slides (each slide is a <section>)
.slides section {
    outline: 1px solid blue;
}

// Add a red border to all vertical stacks of slides
.slides section.stack {
    outline: 1px solid red;
}
// Include a custom font
@font-face {
  font-family: "Cabin Sketch";
  src: url("https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.slid.es/fonts/cabinsketch/cabinsketch-regular.woff") format("woff"),
       url("https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.slid.es/fonts/cabinsketch/cabinsketch-regular.ttf") format("truetype");
}
.slides h1, .slides h2, .slides h3 {
    font-family: "Cabin Sketch";
} // Change color of controls and progress bar @interactiveColor: rgb(200,105,119); .progress span { background: @interactiveColor !important; } .controls .navigate-left { border-right-color: @interactiveColor !important; } .controls .navigate-right { border-left-color: @interactiveColor !important; } .controls .navigate-up { border-bottom-color: @interactiveColor !important; } .controls .navigate-down { border-top-color: @interactiveColor !important; }

Here's where you can access the CSS editor from inside of the Style panel:

Pure CSS Ticker (No-JS)

A smooth horizontal news like ticker using CSS transform on infinite loop

Letterpress chambray brunch.
Vice mlkshk crucifix beard chillwave meditation hoodie asymmetrical Helvetica.
Ugh PBR&B kale chips Echo Park.
Gluten-free mumblecore chambray mixtape food truck.

So, annoyingly, most JS solutions don't do horizontal tickers on an infinite loop, nor do they render all that smoothly.

The difficulty with CSS was getting the animation to transform the entire items 100% yet include an offset that was only the width of the browser (and not the items full width).

Setting the start of the animation to anything less than zero (e.g. -100%) is unreliable as it is based on the items width, and may not offset the full width of the browser or creates too large an offset

Padding left on the wrapper allows us the correct initial offset, but you still get a 'jump' as it then loops too soon. (The full text does not travel off-screen)

This is where adding display:inline-block to the item parent, where the natural behaviour of the element exists as inline, gives an opportunity to add padding-right 100% here. The padding is taken from the parent (as its treated as inline) which usefully is the wrapper width.

Magically* we now have perfect 100% offset, a true 100% translate (width of items) and enough padding in the element to ensure all items leave the screen before it repeats! (width of browser)

*Why this works: The inside of an inline-block is formatted as a block box, and the element itself is formatted as an atomic inline-level box.
Uses `box-sizing: content-box`
Padding is calculated on the width of the containing box.
So as both the ticker and the items are formatted as nested inline, the padding must be calculated by the ticker wrap.
