I don't know if this is a bug or an example of my ham-fistedness but in the last test I started having real trouble getting off the ladder in my Shimla Mirch home (203 Froughtful Manor - I think. The one with 3 rooms, a goldfish bowl and a ladder up from the garden.) I would usually climb the ladder and then a quick jump and left arrow would get me into the front room of the house, but in the last test when trying to enter the room, if I fell back down that bl**dy ladder once I did it a dozen times.
In the end I sold the house and moved to the meadows because I had a hankering for garden patches, but the ladder was the final straw.
I forgot my meat keeper and feeder in the old house so I sold the new, went back to the old re-purchased it and fetched them - and when I did it took me 3 attempts to get up the flaming ladder! That would have been about 10pm GMT on the last day of the test. When I escaped I re-sold the flat and re-purchased my new house. (yes I would probably have been cheaper buying 3 new feeders etc but I wasn't thinking.)
Also when I re-purchased my Marrakesh Medaows house I didn't get a free teleport there. (I did the first time I bought it)
