Do i need to declare...

It's the nice thing to do and is such an insignificant cost in the scale of a property sale......
Also, depending on what stage I were at in the selling process, I wouldn't particularly want to spend possibly several more months with a leaky roof (incidentally, where is the water going if not onto your ceiling?).0 -
Thank you all for the information.
@G_M it is something I will look into0 -
By small leak I mean small, it is going down the inside wall and getting absorbed or evaporates before it hits the upstairs ceiling line.
It has been doing it for a long time. Maybe 2 years but it has never been bad enough to warrant the fix for the time being. I only stumbled upon it by chance.0 -
I'd suggest you spend £50 - £100 getting a tile or 3 replaced. It's the nice thing to do and is such an insignificant cost in the scale of a property sale......
If you did that, not out of the kindness of your heart, but because you considered that the leak might be found and used against you by your buyer, then it wouldn't count as a moral decision.
It might be sensible one, though, depending on how easy the leak would be to spot. I would say that with winter coming, the odds of it being seen go up significantly.
This is getting hard, isn't it?0 -

I will just fix the leak, everyone is a winner.0 -
Out of curiosity more than anything. Is there any come back from a buyer if they were aware that the seller was aware of a fault in a property but nothing was declared0

No, caveat emptor0 -
Sorry reading this makes little sense to me. Might just be the time of night.you should declare your house both options bad and good....may be they are good people and let you go without any cost but that will be good for their future safety............0 -
In my very limited experience leaks in roofs are really difficult to fix because the water is sneaky and might be running for a while before it finds an exit ...0
