Disclosure of facts in house sale

    Hi all,

    Hope this is the right forum.

    I recently sold a house that I bought a number of years ago but for one reason or another I never really lived in as my circumstances changed so the house was idle during this time but I maintained it.

    As far as I was concerned the recent sale (2 years ago) was all done and dusted. Everything above board - solicitors, surveyors etc all happy and the purchaser was happy as they are living in the house since.

    Recently however I have got a solicitors letter stating that there is an issue with the septic tank in that apparently its located within the neighbours boundary and not the house I sold. This was news to me.

    The purchaser is looking for substantial compensation as a result. Can I be held liable in this situation?

    I would consult your own solicitor, but on the face of it, this is not your problem.

    It is the duty of the purchaser to employ surveyors and solicitors to capture potential problems like this before they buy the house.

    Presuming that you were unaware of this issue, then I would give the letter to your own solicitor and ask him/her to respond, asking the purchaser to kindly go fnck themselves.

    Hehe I like that legal term at the end of letters, "kindly go fnck themselves"
