TENANTS are being issued with a warning about cold callers who claim they are acting on behalf of a social landlord.
The callers are knocking on the doors of people living in Rossendale offering tenants help to buy their homes in return for a large sum of money, according to Green Vale Homes.
They also claim to be a representative of Green Vale, who says it would never cold call tenants.
Julie Smith, head of operations for Green Vale, said: "If this happens to you please ask to see their credentials.
"In any event we would recommend that you always seek your own independent legal and financial advice regarding buying your property to ensure it is right for you."
In some instances where tenants have signed documents with these companies, the sale has been unable to continue and the company has still charged a substantial sum of money and instructed debt collectors to recoup it.
