The cannabis farm scandal: how a rogue lettings agency destroyed countless homes
Briefly

Hajaj Hajaj, a retired carer, decided to rent out his home to generate income for his wife's care. He formed an agreement with Imperial Property Group, which promised zero management fees and guaranteed rent. Unbeknownst to him, his property became a cover for an illegal cannabis farm worth £160,000 while he battled severe health issues. After a six-month hospitalization due to COVID-19, he learned of the situation, raising questions about the legitimacy of the agency and its practices during his absence.
Upon returning home after his lengthy illness, Hajaj discovered his property had become an illegal cannabis farm, hidden from him in the guise of corporate let.
Imperial Property Group's promise of 'zero fees' for property management turned out to be a facade for a much more sinister operation.
