Also,
Do estate agents & solicitors not have a legal obligation to disclose vital information to the potential buyer right at the start of negotiations after an offer is accepted??
info such as: 1.There was no formal planning permission given for the property to be converted into flats/houses. 2.There is no buildings regulation approval document.

Stick to the one thread. It is all one problem and it does not help people to understand if you split it up randomly into different threads.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

no they do not. that is why both sides have lawyers. unless you ask them a question and they lie in reply.
But if you were doing your own DIY conveyancing - like some well know posters on here might advocate (never do it) - you might spot it as a Buyer...or would you, gulpMy posts are just my opinions and are not offered as legal advice - though I consider them darn fine opinions none the less.:cool2:
My bad spelling...well I rush type these opinions on my own time, so sorry, but they are free.:o0
