Seller Refusing To Grant Vacant Possession

Agreed, can they do that if they know who really owns them though? I do hope the OP has a good solicitor and keeps us updated on the situation.DVardysShadow wrote: »Or at the very minimum have the vendor certify that all goods are abandoned and free of bailment.I am a Mortgage Adviser

Your solicitor may not be allowed to complete, regardless of the £700 or who said what to whom, if you are buying with a mortgage.
Almost certainly, he/she has an obligation to the mortgage company not to risk their money nor compromise their position where there is clearly not vacant possession.0 -
Its not the 700 quid though is it? Its the responsibilty of looking after the dead persons stuff while it goes through probate that is what I would be taking issue with. Even if you get the 700 quid off, pay for the disposal, then where do you stand when the probate solicitor comes to you saying the stamp collection you threw out was worth thousands and the deceased had bequeathed it to a great grandson who wants it? No, for me, you must insist on proper vacant possession on this one.
I completely agree with this post.
How have you got on today OP?Grab life by the balls before it grabs you by the neck.0 -
She is stating that she gave us permission to go into the house between exchange and completion to get the house cleared and cleaned and that we would have to bear the cost.
Did you know about this before you exchanged?
Did you tell your solicitor about the rubbish in the place?
Did they ask the sellers' solicitors that the seller move it before completion?
I ask all this because I wonder whether your solicitor was aware of all this before exchange took place - if I was told about this I would be making sure that the argument was had before exchange not the day before completion.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -
i'd be as worried about the rats after watching a programme the other day and it cost 6,000 to get rid of them i think it was. I wouldn't clear it, thats their problem not yours:T:T :beer: :beer::beer::beer: to the lil one
