  • As it stands if you back out, without an engineer’s report saying otherwise they’ll have to put on the brochure that the house might well be subsiding. They really won’t want to do that.

    Likewise this... Is this assuming you make some sort of formal declaration to the seller that you think the house is subsiding?

  • There’s no formal form or anything.

    The agent has a legal obligation to inform buyers of anything that may affect their decision to buy.

    If they’ve been shown a surveyor’s report saying a house has subsidence and nothing from an engineer to supersede this then it has to go in the marketing material.

    Imagine being a potential buyer who drove 150 miles to a viewing then found out about such a survey.
