can anyone here help?? NEED ADVISE URGENT

LEELEE

We only offered monies as our solicitors advised us to do so , the other option was possible Bankruptcy , were we duped or what??

They basically said (we approached x 2 solicitors) have you considered Bankruptcy within the first 15 mins or our meeting, now thats a shock to be honest and we just sent letter after letter and nothing ever gets done , HOT air basically yes

What???????????????????

LEELEE

We ticked yes and no on the form where you declare issues with neighbours ect and just put down there was correspondance between us and her solictors purely from a freeholders point of view/not personal.

Without knowing exactly what the questions were it's hard to comment still! But if you "put down there was correspondance between us and her solictors" then you seem to have been honest and have no case to answer. There must be more to their case than this?

What are they actually alleging you did or did not do?

Bankrupcy? !!!!!!?

You offerred money? Why? Do you feel responsible? Did your solicitor feel you were legally liable?

As I said before - there must be more to their case.

here is a link to my thread on another sub-forum - but really think it should maybe have been here too??

please can anyone help??

Hi ,

Very new on here but looking for advice :

I recently moved out of a flat with a shared garden (Sold this property) this year and moved onto a house .

4 months later i recieve a letter from the person who bought my flat solicitors.
Initially it stated that we misold this flat and hadnt given enough infomation on the HIPS. Her solicitors are a no WIN no Fee outfit .

We had ticked the box's for YES & NO and stated there were communications with a certain neighbour of ours which we had the odd dispute concerning the shared (Communal garden) . As far as we were concerned the matter had gone away .

Anyway the buyer had moved in and within 6 weeks she had an argument with our old neighbour about the shared garden, now the buyer is suing us for miss selling the flat?? you disclosed the dispute but if they did not ask further about it then their fault. If the question was have you had any dispute and you had said no and nothing further then I would agree you'd be in trouble, but by the sound of it you said 'yes, but...and told them what had happened. Right?

The buyer initailly tried to blame the Estate agent nothing to do with them but he told the buyer where to go. We know from conversations with him that the buyer was very very pushy and a difficult customer to deal with.

Its gone as far as offering who did....totally unnecssary if you did pay! some monies as a Without Prejudice offer just to solve this matter but the buyer wants a lot more than we can offer .

Any advise would be beneficial on this and if anyone else has been contacted by solictors about neighbours after moving??

Also our Solicitors have recently give us a bill for quite alot of monies die to fighting this issue: I am sure they will as they cannot give a fixed fee. £200 an hour is usual broken into unit of 10 (£20) for each letter and telephone call of 6 mins Below are some prices of their services , are these the average or are these over inflated ??

Price to write a letter £23
price to recieve a letter £23
price for a phone call £23

Price for looking at out docmentation £208 per hour !!

Please help , have lots more details if needed but we are not sure what to do ? Should we speak to a BARRISTER?

Thanks

New person on here

one quick letter by your lawyer to say:


Any assertion by you or your client that there has been non-disclosure by our client is empatically denied by the very fact of actual discloure at box X of the Property Informaion Form. Had you or your client wanted more detail or had your client thought to make enquiries direct of the neibour then that was a matter totally in their discretion, and nothing to do with our client.

We do not consider there is any further need to correspond.

Yours faithfully
