Reported it to the police the other day as youths were hanging round the place and I was concerned that if someone decided to torch the place that the shell garage would go up too.
The back window had been put through, so looks like they've secured the property. Also suggested as it looks like an elderly person lived there, they could have easily died in the property, as it was never put up for sale OT anything before the windows started to be put through.

Depends, there's not really neighbours and it's next to a busy garage and road so there's going to be a mix of different wafts in the air around that bit - also you're average old person might not have that much on them to decompose - which is what causes the smell. The right atmospherics can 'mummify' corpses fairly quickly.

That house had been empty since before 2009.
Past 2 christmases I have seen someone removing some items from the back of the house, I'm assuming it was the owner or a member of the owners family.
Last year it was sold at auction. Seen the interior pictures, no furniture inside and looks like where the kitchen was, everything had been removed.
So to get to the point, no-one would have been living there when the incident took place.

I thought that i saw a For Sale board there a few weeks ago but may have imagined it.
One possibility is that the person living there has been jailed. There have been 2 reports of people from that street in court. It's not a big street either.

It's back up for sale with outline planning permission to demolish the house and out buildings and replace it with a 3 storey structure housing 1 and 2 bed apartments.

That's a shame. Now I wouldn't say it's the most prettiest of houses, but it does have a certain charm that I would be sad to see lost.

The building has charm, is part of local heritage and could easily be renovated and brought back into use.
But this is Stafford, so it has to be demolished. And all the trees around it cut down. And the road will have to be closed while they do it, in case the demolition itself does not cause sufficient interference.

So that there won't be any objections when they put in an application for demolition & redevelopment of the site?
