PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! 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. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

House Sold - Buyers want to make a claim

Good point.I hope your solicitor isn't going to charge you to write a letter to theirs telling them to go away.
Ask! Before replying to your solicitor.
And if they are going to charge you, then tell your solicitor not to respond. Save yourself the fee. This claim is so ludicrous it does not need/warrant a reply, certainly not if it costs you.0 -
When I moved in 18 years ago, the vendors very kindly left me a list of useful local numbers: doctor, dentist, odd-job-man, oil boiler engineer etc
Over the first few weeks I compiled a list of around 10 'problems' similar to yours which needed fixing: a dodgy socket extension, missing ventilation pipe, light switch not working, poorly re-painted utility oom etc...
Did I write and claim off the vendors? Of course not. I just rang the odd job man and asked him round to quote.
You should have seen his face as I pointed out each problem I wanted fixed. Turned out he had done the ork in the first place, and here I was saying how shoddy it was and could he fix it! I never received his quote, or saw him again!0 -
tell them to sue the surveyor for not doing a full inspection"Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0
