The buying of my 1st house and is taking longer than anticpated.
As i handnt seen the house since placing the offer(asking price) in October, was advised by my solicitor to have another viewing to make sure everything was the same as when i made the offer.
On the inspection in february,
I noticed that one bedroom window pane had misted up and needs replacing (vendors had already replaced one pane in the same window in November).
Asked the vendors to replace or to share the cost, they are refusing to do either of these remidies because they have replaced one already. do i have any rights?, for at least shareing the cost of window pane replacement.
Have posted similar before but made a couple of errors .
thanks

You have the right to walk away if you are not prepared to replace it yourself.
The vendors don't have to replace the window or even pay towards it, if you don't like that then unfortunately there is nothing you can do.

A game of nerve. You could reduce your offer £500, but that might delay you even more.
As a seller I would not be inclined to spend much here though. There is always something with property.0
