Help - Large Caravan In my Drive
Comments

Sounds like a big problem to me. I would not exchange until it is removed. It is currently the sellers problem (is there a dispute?) but on exchange it becomes your problem. I would also get your solicitor to write re this and any disputes so that it is clear as to what the real situation is.Hi there
its my writing Im sorry - the caravan belongs to one of the neighbours and not the current owner0 -
Don't exchange until it has gone. Once you exchange it becomes your problem.0

Although Im quite desperate to move in I will take your advice and approach my solicitor to contact the vendor - Thank you all0

As the others said - don't exchange until it's removed. Go to the site, meet with the owner, so you can see for yourself it's been removed.... then you can phone your solicitor while you're standing in the spot and say "I'm in the spot, it's gone, you can exchange". And get a friend to take a photo of it ... in case it's round the corner and coming back.
The owner has the responsibility to hand over the property exactly how it was when you exchanged - so if it does sneak back, you'll need evidence it wasn't there when you exchanged.
It'll probably be OK, if you were selling your house and your mate wanted to store his caravan "until it's sold, mate" you'd say yes too probably... and your mate'd move it by the date.0 -
You are absolutely right I will do that. I will also take photos. - thank you0

Dont exchange until it is gone. A fried was buying a house with an allocated parking space, there was a load of junk dumped on it so she didnt exchange until the junk had been removed.0

How does this differ from, for instance, the seller storing items IN the house for a neighbour or friend?
Would anyone insist that everything that didn't belong to the seller be removed prior to exchange? Or would they exchange, and check what was in the house once they got the keys?0 -
