Thanks for your reply,we have "highland standard clauses" which are probably similar to the ones you posted. Still waiting for solicitor to get back to me.

You can read them and see on the law society website.

I think you're unlikely to get any joy with regard to low hot water pressure. The shower may be a possibility, but I think the dripping tap is also a non-starter.

You need to look at the offer you made. Vendor may have some liability, but you will have to act quickly.

If there is hot water, then it works. It does not have to work well, so tough. Leaking tap is so trivial the vendor wouldn't be liable for it.

The shower could be the vendor's problem but you have to put them on notice and get quotes for repair. There is a very limited period you can report faults and keep the vendor liable. There will also be a minimum limit (last I time I bought/sold, no claim could be raised for less than £200).

I emailed the solicitor sunday night.The tap isn't leaking in the sense that its dripping into the sink,it's leaking through the body and down the pipes below.It may be trivial but a new mixer tap and fitting would be close to £200,maybe more.A new fitted shower won't be cheap and at present doesn't seem safe to use.Don't feel i should be paying for this.

Kitchen mixer taps from around £15 . . do you not have any spanners?
