英国过世房东遗产拍卖 包括过世的房东埋在花园里的遗骸

伦敦市中心一4居室老屋在市场上,房东夫妇过世了,他们的遗体被埋在后花园里。男房东最近过世,他死前曾经说,如果买家介意,可把他们的遗骸移走。在英国挖掘遗骸需要申请许可,大约$13,000. 中介说大多买家并不介意。其实很多老房子下面都有人类遗骸。此房屋预计会137万澳币成交。

THIS property includes everything a house hunter could want, or maybe not: four double bedrooms, great city location and bodies buried in the backyard. What?

The devil, they say, is in the detail, and never more so than with property ads. The final line of the estate agency's description of a home in London takes some beating: "It is important to note that the previous owners' last wishes were to be buried in this garden, which is where they both currently rest."

Indeed, the husband and wife - she died a few years ago, he just recently - are both interred under a floral display in the garden, according to The Guardian.

But agent Richard Porter said that the husband indicated before he died that he was happy for them to be moved if necessary in the future.

Mr Porter said with no direct relatives still living, an exhumation licence should be easy for buyers to secure, adding that it would cost about $13,000.

"Upon finding out about the bodies in the garden the majority of people we speak to don't seem to have a problem with it," he also told the Metro.

"You do get people who aren't prepared to live by a church or a graveyard anyway," he continued. "But most of the most populated parts of the country are built on places where people have been buried."

If you think having the previous owners buried in the yard should knock down the price, think again. The property at Teddington, in London's south west, is listed for $1.2 million.

"But we are expecting it to go for closer to Pound750,000, ($1.37 million)," says Mr Porter.

Dating from 1875, the house is believed to have originally been a hotel.
