How to track down vendor

Yes so as you can imagine I don't have money for new carpets etc.

Assuming this isn't a wind up, you are out of luck and whether or not you have money for new carpets is irrelevant. You bought it as it was. If you didn't want bumps you should have specified the vendor supplied all new carpets because that's what happens with carpet and furniture.

What you've described is utterly trivial and in the event you did contact the vendor they would tell you to Foxtrot Oscar assuming they bothered to reply which I certainly wouldn't.

Have you bought this by yourself? Perhaps ask your parents how this works.

option 1: You could try going through your solicitor and then sueing vendor for all these problems and see where this gets you
option 2: fix them yourself

one option ends up in the issues being fixed, costing you some money. The other options results in the issues not being fixed, and also will cost you some (if not more than the other option) money.

I'm disappointed the OP wasn't my buyer

Thank you - I think I'll take up the suggestion of writing to the vendor at my address and seeing if it gets redirected and then maybe pick it up with my solicitor if I don't hear back.

Irony fail. Try harder next time Snooks.

None of this is particularly major as a first time buyer it may seem so but its not.

It's pretty normal for carpets to be dented by the furniture. You didn't ask about the fence and the outside light is hardly essential. Mark it up as a lesson learned and move on your vendor is not responsible for fixing any of this and no business is going to provide you with forwarding details as they would be breaching the Data Protection Act to do so.

I'd be more concerned about the not getting a survey done whether the house is only 30yrs old or not things can go wrong.

I'm getting contrasting advice here, some of you are saying they're not legally responsible and some are saying sue them?

I was told you only need a survey if it's a listed building and it's not. I had a mortgage valuation and I'm surprised they didn't notice the fence and the outside light even if nothing else.

Who told you that? Whoever it was they're not very bright.

It's a basic valuation to see what the price of the house is not a survey.
