If you’re planning on selling your house, you never know quite what prospective buyers your estate agent might be bringing round for a viewing.

It follows therefore that if you have anything dodgy lying around, it might be a good idea to remove it from sight.

Subsequently officers from the Colchester community team executed a warrant.

It has not been reported whether the policeman involved is still interested in purchasing the property, presumably without the drugs.

It was only last year that a property in Greater Manchester advertised on RIGHTMOVE, showed photos of one room filled with small plant pots covered in plastic.

Obviously the housing market is going to pot!
