    In a property sale, if a flaw with the property (e.g. boundary dispute or breach of planning permission) is known to the estate agent and/or vendor's solicitor, is there any legal obligation for them to inform potential buyers?

    Yes, the vendor's solicitor should disclose any such flaws in the draft contract for sale

    Interesting - thanks nuac.
    Would that be an outright legal requirement or more of a professional responsibility/code of practice type thing?
