I sold my house and when the buyers got in they suggested the boiler was not working (even though it was serviced when we left). Their solicitors have contacted my solicitors to say they got a bill for £460.00 and please can I as the client issue my instructions.
Where do we stand and do they have any remedy at all?

Unless you deliberately lied to them and told them it was working when you knew it wasn't (which from what you've said isn't the case), they haven't got a leg to stand on and you don't have to pay it. Instruct your solicitor to politely decline to pay anything.0

I have done that. Feels like all the good will we had with the buyer is now ruined, but hey ho.0

Yep...Tell them it was serviced when you left and no fault found so tough.0

cheers guys. We spent nearly £400.00 getting the place sorted for them in any case, and we have a record too.0

It happened to us when we moved in..the thing would not light..i got a fitter out and put it down to experience..cost me £200.It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0
