House Seller not Disclosing

[Brightwell’s left peg]

I think you’ll find BM is the highest authority in the land on matters like this.

indeed, and I assume somewhere along the way @mosssideblue has been advised to smash the solicitor’s back doors in and provide pictures of said solicitor?

Then the court will decide on compensation if their appointed independent surveyor says there would be no price difference (!).
The point is this is going to have to be decided in court and once again I advise separating yourself from your solicitor in case you have grounds for action against them.
You would have much more chance of actually getting anything from the solicitor if they are culpable than the sellers.

Agree, and it's not like it was 20 years ago, it was just after they moved in.

Maybe they bought in ignorance and are trying to hope we will just accept it. How wrong they would be

They worked in the industry. Inexcusable.

If i was the seller and i became aware of the fact I had been rumbled, then surely I would be looking at settling out of court rather than facing your (and my own) legal costs??

What if they have no money?
Who decides what is a reasonable settlement if not the court?
The buyer may need to force the issue.
