Buying house nightmare

Yes, if you pull out you'll lose the money you've already paid to solicitors. But if you stick with it, move in and find out there are bigger problems, you'll lose a LOT more. If she's happy to fake gas certificates and probate documents, what's to say she's not faked a whole load of other stuff? I wouldn't touch that house with a bargepole.0

So the last document you have is a fake probate certificate. Probate sorts out what is in the estate and who inherits what. So can we take it that the seller is trying to sell a house that may not belong to her and you are willing to pay her a lot of money for the house that may not belong to her? I hope that the address that she has given for where she currently lives isn't a fake as well?0

Indeed. Yet the OP who plans to proceed because otherwise he'd lose a few hundred on a soliciitor calls the vendor crazy ! Buy a mirror OP.0 -

According to the OP, she is registered blind.
However, in her posting history, last summer she bought a secondhand car...
I know disabilities can worsen quite quickly, but there was a query about the veracity of her last posting in May.

A hypothetical mirror then. If she has enough cash to buy, why is she worried about losing a few quid already spent on a solicitor when she could lose all her money if this is a fraud?0
