My parents and three sisters Original moved in to the above Council Semi detached BISS House Mar/Apr 1954, Rent 1.00 a week. I moved in December 1954.
In 1982, my Parents/sister purchased this property from Bexley Council, since then my father passed away. The Ownership of the Property in question was owned by three reliable people.
In 2003, I successfully re-mortgaged the property paid off what was remaining of the Bexley Council Mortgage.

18th Aug 2003 we signed the final papers to obtain a Mortgage from Blemain Finance, later that evening my sister was taken ill, my sister passed away in the early hours of the 19th Aug 2003, I informed the finance broker of this and decided to continue with this mortgage on my own.
