Buying a house with Pyrite issue fixed: green cert issued

suave.4u

Hi lads,

In the market for a property. It listing says that property comes with the Benefit of a "Green Certificate" and exempt from LPT for the next 6 years.

Can we be sure that the pyrite issue is fixed? Is it safe to buy such a property.

Love the way the agents mask something and present it as a good thing!

Pyrite came in numerous forms tbh some of it highly able to remedy. I know some estates had floors pulled up throughout and reinstalled with foundations checked.

Best bet is to check property price register for recent sales and maybe reach out to the new owners of their experience with the repairs.

Personally, I wouldn't touch it.

Why. Once it's remediated it shouldn't be an issue.

Because it is a potential issue that could come back. Maybe it would all be fine, but I would take the risk myself. That's just me.
