    I must have young ears....I can hear the high pitched noise of the mosquito alarm used to deter younger ears.

    I'm 45!

    Blooming annoying noise if you ask me, absolutely hate it, especially when they have it on outside the supermarket and with my reduced mobility, me taking an age to actually get inside the store.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    That question 2.2 is phrased "Is the seller aware of anything which might lead to a dispute about the property or a property nearby?".

    Personally, the first point that arose in my mind is the definition of "property". I doubt "property" just means neighbours' houses. I would imagine it includes absolutely any "building or structure" and that could certainly be argued as to what exactly that one little word meant. I would imagine quite a few people would interpret the word in quite a broad sense.

    The second point being re the "anything which might lead to a dispute" - it doesn't say the dispute has to be with the neighbours. Worded like that, I would/did interpret it as meaning = any dispute of any description that might occur that involved the house-owner.

    So = bus-stop is a building or structure.

    The disputatious situation wouldn't arise if OP had bought a house that wasn't near that bus stop. Vendor must have known/almost certainly did know about the antisocial behaviour focusing around that bus stop.

    I wouldn't lay odds on OP's vendor being "in the clear" on this. If I were a betting person = I'd bet the other way as to what was meant when that question was worded out.

    EDIT; I wonder if anyone like Richard Webster is around reading the Boards at the moment and how a retired solicitor like him would interpret that question??


    Nobody can get into a dispute with a bus stop.

    If you think you can it's no wonder you seem to get into disputes with all the actual people living within half a mile of you.
