Owning your own home

The Golden Triangle is nice spenceey (did they win the 'Say no to Unthank Tesco' campaign?) and it's worth remembering that in the event of a downturn prices would go down less there than in surrounding areas because it is nice and desirable.

So can anyone help on this?

Mr Fox

I have been asked by the vendor XXXXXXX XXXXX if you would be prepared to pay half of the costs of the Fire Risk & Asbestos Report that he is going to now have to carry out.

He feels that it is ludicrous to have to get this done on a communal hallway that is approx only 7 foot by 5 but can see no other alternative if your solicitor insists on it.

I have said before that it is only very very occasionally asked for by solicitors, especially given the total area concerned and what doesn’t help is his own solicitors thinks it’s an overzealous request.

Let me know your thoughts so we can press on as quickly as possible.

Kind Regards

My understanding in short is that these have been required by law since 2006 and they are the seller's responsibility, the area of the shared hallway is neither here nor there and it's not my fault his solicitor has a poor grasp of asbestos and fire regulation. So he has a sodding cheek. Any thoughts/experiences?
