    It could well be that the buyer was intending to use the space as a bedroom...maybe for something like lodgers in order to help with mortgage and utility bills etc....and decided that she was not comfortable with the lack of paperwork if there was going to be an element of sublet etc.

    at the end of it,it was that buyers decision to pull out...it doesnt mean every buyer will pull out.

    To obtain a quick sale, and because it would be the first home for the young female buyer, she reduced the price by £5000.

    Tell her she's lucky, she can now put it back on at the full price and not be messed about by an idiot.
    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong.

    Of course it can be both semi detached and end terrace. ;) But even that's just marketing BS.


    Incorrect marketing BS all the same. A semi is only two houses. Would be very wary of an EA who doesn't know the difference between the two! :eek:

    It may be that the solicitor won't be on the lender's approved list so have no impact on future buyers

    My solicitor used another for the financials when they weren't on the lender's approved list. Still doesn't rule them out.

    Sorry it is a small 19th century house at the end of a terraced row and sort of semi detached because there is a walkway between it and the house next door at ground floor level but the walls adjoin at first floor level....

    In which case, it's a terraced house with a flying freehold.

    Apparently their solicitor told her solicitor that was the reason.

    From her Solicitor to her and then to you, chances of Chinese whispers.
