i wouldnt have thought , with how long these things take at the best of times , that it`s a good idea to be fannying about back and forth with meaningless games

many years ago when I had a BTL, my tenant offered to buy me out.
Even though he was living in the property and will have received all of the relevant notices etc from the council he still asked "Is the vendor aware of any planned development work in the area?"
to which we answered "If the purchaser cares to take a look out through his window they will see" (a f-ing great big shopping centre was being build next door at the time)

Having read your reply to enquiries,
1:the manure in the loft is of no use to our tomatos and
2:I am afraid of heights
I reduce my offer by £5000.Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0
