A spokesman for the Corporation confirmed that the house had been let to a Londoner and said that the house would have been let earlier but for publicity. All prospective tenants had been briefed on the house's history. Several people had been to see the house and turned it down, Mrs P Law, a neighbour informed an Evening Advertiser reporter yesterday.
