Well, I don't know what to think!

I have just put it on our local selling page - not selling anything obviously, but just using the page as a way of putting it out there to a wider audience than my own page. Also asking if anyone else has had similar visitors in the area!

It’s sunny, it’s a nice day out!
Seriously though I wonder what they would have done if the house had been unoccupied?
Might be an idea to put the event on your FB page or contact the police, they might be checking the house out......

To be honest I feel like ringing the police. Is that an over-reaction?

There was no way they or anyone else could have got in while they were talking to us, as we were standing at the end of our side pathway so that was covered, and next to our front door, which was locked. No not really any similar houses nearby and it was not only definitely a photo of our house, but the address was listed above it as well. On their phone, that is, but not anywhere on Zoopla or Rightmove or any other house rental site that I've searched hmm

Flip!! Have you counted the silver, checked all your keys? That would really discombobulate me. Is there a similar house close by?

We've just had a couple, about our age, come to view our property. They found it on Zoopla, they said. Apparently it's up for rent at £600 a month (it isn't) and it's lovely inside, lots of photos they'd looked at on their computer, it's all updated and refurbished (it isn't). They even showed us a picture of it on their phone, a picture that was clearly taken at least six months ago, because we've had some alterations done which aren't in the photo.
So what do you think I did immediately they'd gone? Yes, of course, I looked on Zoopla. It's not there. We've lived here for longer than Zoopla and Rightmove etc have been listing sold prices, sale histories etc, so there is nothing, no photo or anything, to show.
They seemed a very nice couple, very genuine and couldn't apologise enough for disturbing us.
We are totally mystified confused. Any thoughts anyone?
