Seems like he's angling at that, happened to a customer of ours and they screwed them for thousands. Sounds like they are being deliberately awkard though so could go against them, but really for them to get money out you they probs would need to take you to court.
I had another customer who bit the bullet and fitted heating issues themselves as their solicitor basically said it is very diffuclt to get money out the seller once its done! Really depends how hard they make it.
Moved house last week, the whole process was a stress for a myriad of reasons. just as we start to settle into the new house and put those stresses behind us, the people who bought our house claim the boiler and radiators are leaking!
In Scotland you have 5 days (might be the same elsewhere) to report heating issues and said issue was raised on day 5 - so I run around all my contacts trying to get someone to do a favour and go take a look. Buyer claims to be a plumber/heating engineer himself when talking to my builder so knocks back every single piece of advice/question, builder rings me and says he's not getting involved, your buyer is a co*k.
I live round the corner, they've not even moved in (pass it everyday/evening), doubt they have the heating on and its been sub zero most evenings for a week!!
Genuinely do not have the head space for this, they are clearly angling for a new boiler or some shit, yes it was old, yes it had some previous issues but it was a working heating system which we used everyday to keep a toddler warm with no leaks or problems.
Rant over.
