Seller lied on form

If there is no bleed valve on the radiator how was it ever filled in the first place?

Hi new to this
We purchased a house a couple of months ago. Foolishly I believed the sellers when they said that they had planning permission for the extension to the rear of the property and also that they had boarded the loft and strengthened the rafters. They had thrown all the paperwork away as they had intended to stay in the house and the only reason they didn't register the loft as a fourth bedroom is because they were fine with it. (I know the alarm bells should of gone off). When they completed the seller information form they failed to put on the changes that they had made.

We still went ahead with the purchase even though the solicitor said that they did not have planning permission for either. We figured that as the vendor had reassured us that they had reinforced the rafters we would go ahead with the purchase (yes foolish!).

We decided to put in a new boiler and then discovered that none of the radiators have bleed valves on them - our shock was that if we hadn't of changed the boiler what would the implications of been! Will we have any recourse with the seller as we now have to replace all the radiators in the house:(

So your solicitor told you they didnt have PP, so you chose to disregard their input?

A wise move....

I don't think OP has fully pinned down exactly what she's supposed to be outraged about.

I think it's a general outburst of indignation at having to spend money on radiators instead of cushions and colour coordinated kitchen caddies.

What makes you

a) so sure the OP is a she, and

b) that s/he would rather spend money on soft furnishings?

I think the should be in the form rules and a condition of membership.

Is it bad that now I want a colour-coordinated kitchen caddy?

I searched for Planning Permission / Building Control myself.


Funny enough, the solicitor came back with the same information

Maybe they put the house in a giant vacuum chamber or tipped it upside down?

Counting your quote as one paragraph this is the second paragraph.
