Several councils have been hit with the same scam. Been going on for years. Melton Mowbray council got taken for £200k. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-leicestershire-44980255

Yep, also had one. Website looks legit and it states no payment required. Usually the cost comes in when you’re shortlisted and then book a table to attend the awards ceremony. However, it states there is no awards ceremony. I’ve replied and will see...

12m Deposit is hefty. The norm is 3 months or possibly 6 months. As others have said be very wary of signing a 10 year lease as it will tie you in. Are there any break clauses in the contract? In case you don’t know, a break clause allows you to break the lease at agreed times. We’ve historically had a 5 year lease with a break clause at 18m and 3 years. Normally you have to give 3m notice if you intend to invoke the break clause.

I had exactly the same. It was the pipe that had come off for the rear windscreen wiper washer.

I’ve recently bought an ‘89 Honda CRX as a winter project. Only 40k from new and identical to the one I owned when I was 21. Hoping to turn a profit on it after some work over the winter.
