In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

    I totally agree. So if you were in my position where would you go from here?
    Make estate agents and solicitors aware of the issue plus fact it hasn't been mentioned until now.. and ask for statements showing remaining balance still owing?

    Absolutely! Tell them your offer was based on the property as viewed, not property with debt overhang. Tell them either the debt is cleared or you reduce your offer by the equivalent amount.
