Maybe im mistaken, but would like advice, I thought that these 2 things would be the solicitors responsibility to find out for us for sure, but our solicitors keep saying things along the lines of 'you'd be best going to the freeholder and finding out yourselves'
our homebuyers survey noted that the guttering could do with seals replacing and cleaning and moss cleaning off the roof
-- they are saying we could ask the vendor to get this done, because they 'think' the lease suggests that the exterior of the property is our responsibility, but cannot actually give us a solid answer on where the line is drawn, i.e if guttering and moss on roof are our problem, is the roof caving in our problem too?
lease says "Not to keep any animal bird or reptile in the flat which the council considers to be dangerous injurious to health or a nuisance"
-- solicitors have told us "There is a restriction against keeping pets on the property. I would recommend that if you intend to keep a pet, you obtain consent from the Landlord before exchange of contracts." we don't see these 2 as related, and again i would have thought that it was there responsibility to find out whether a house cat isn't allowed in the lease
