    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.

    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.

    Doesn't the Green Cert mean that the property is pyrite free?

    Wouldnt bother me. If its fixed its fixed. At least you know it was found and fixed rather than not knowing if its there. 2 houses near my Dads built 19 years ago Pyrite just showed up last year. Both are empty now for repairs.
