  • like the permission certificate granted for a boiler flue that was made invalid by putting it somewhere else which would have cost thousands to put right including ripping a kitchen and bathroom out.

    thread derail but how did you fix this, btw? or did you pull out. sounds unpleasant.

  • indemnity insurance which was around £250.
    was a bit pissed to discover we paid for that not the seller, i blame the solicitor though in fairness she did sort it to cover internal work should it ever be picked up by leaseholder.
    The brickwork would have to reinstated on the 6th floor so really could have been a nightmare.
    I spotted the flue was quite close to a window (probably illegal) and had a plume kit fitted (against the estate rules) and pestered for a copy of the flue certificate the day we offered but didn't get it until 5 months later 2 weeks before exchange...
