if you're going to accidentally hand over a school, at least do it in a form that's easy to spell.

Council sells house for £395,000, accidentally throws in a primary school

Businessman Sukhjit Bains bought a three-bed Birmingham house at auction from Birmingham City Council for £395,000 in 2013, but a solicitor's paperwork mix-up meant the transfer documents also handed his company, NH Care Ltd, ownership of George Dixon Primary School and its 324 pupils. Neither Bains nor the school knew for eleven years; the council discovered in 2024 that it no longer owned the building and asked for it back. After Bains stopped responding, Birmingham City Council launched High Court proceedings against his company and Lloyds Bank to reclaim the school.
