  • Lawyer has written up a long list of reservations he'll pass on to the EA. He's pretty sure they won't be able to sort out the problems, so told me to either get ready to restart the price negotiations or just walk away.
    Apparently it's not only an illegal (or at unregistered) loft conversion, which obviously wasn't registered as he didn't want to pay tax on it. It's also at least one unregistered oil tank, 25 years of not paying the council for the sewage connection, not registering as a two family residence (which it is illegally converted to), some sort of cluster fuck about the owner of this property being legally obliged to provide water for the neighbour and then a shed and a conservatory without building permit.

  • Wow. Regardless of the USPs of the property it sounds like more trouble than it'll ever be worth, no? I understand why the EA is keen to have you pay now, they must know everyone will walk away when they learn of all of this.
