No born Durham in the sunny north-east. As you all have guessed by now I can’t spell. So what do you all feel good about yourselves for belittling me all thinking that you are all superior well you are not. - maybe some are, depends by what the word ‘superior’ is used in context Would you take the p*** out of someone in a wheelchair because they can’t run or someone with no arms that can’t throw a ball. - so you have an actual disability? Recognised, e.g. dyslexia This is my first time I have ever put anything on heat and it will be the last. If a lot of you on this are the future god help us all. I have very strong Mental health no imagine if I was close to the edge so people just think before you post

It would be for you to tell people that. No one here is psychic and no one should have to modify their speech in case you get offended.

Mental health or not, we only know what you tell us.

What you on about a few people on hear have wound me up. I was not a dig at anybody or anything. I’m just straight to the point if there is anything that I want to ask.

No you’re not. You tell people that and they agree; to avoid embarrassing you.

To put this thread back on topic..........

I am currently buying a house.
When the vendor showed me round, I misheard and thought she said the boiler was installed last year.
Turns out it is over 10 years old. She was talking about the filter it had fitted.

When going around a property things can be lost in translation, even as a buyer, let alone an EA who is rushing from one job to another.

I've accepted my mistake, got an indemnity, and the house is still worth what I am paying for it.
Thankfully, my solicitor checked up on my belief that the boiler was a mere youngster and asked the seller for proof.

I'm sorry, I don't usually bite on these kind of threads, but this one has really upset me.


I also happen to be from and live in Durham (as a homeowner), I am also severley dyslexic and have mental health difficulties. Frankly, I am a bit embarassed to have to be lumped in with the OP.



When I purchased my property (as a FTB), my seller did lie to the estate agents as well as in the information form and forged an electrical installation certificate. We were able to prove this and successfully managed to negotiate the price down to factor in a full rewire and replaster before exchange. Due diligence.


Sorry to be blunt (apparently thats what we do in the North), but after the fact is way too late to be winging about it. Would cost more in solicitors fees to attempt to claim compensations than you would (not) receive.



Once again, don't usually bite (unless asked ) have a lovely evening all!

"Lumped in", artyclarty? Imho, you are not in the same hemisphere as the OP. You may well have dyslexia; no-one would know it from the way you write had you not told us. I, for one, am grateful for your contribution to this thread. Thank you.

We can all make spelling mistakes, that is not the issue with the OP; the issue is the syntax. I had no such difficulty with yours; your meaning is clear.

The type of boiler is relevant, I think. 10 years is old for a combi boiler but infancy for some older types of boilers. I am no authority but am fairly sure that back boilers, for instance, while less efficient in terms of performance, are one heck of a lot more resilient than these new, flimsy combi things we seem to be stuck with now. How they are helping the planet when they need replacing roughly once a decade is beyond me.

I'm still lost as to why the OP didn't check the Windows/Doors Certs when they were given copies. Needs to accept respobsibility themselves.

Can imagine them buying a brand new car and moaning when it breaks down 6 years later all because the salesman didn't tell them to service it yearly

OP says they are straight to the point...calls others out for being straight to the point because ... logic ....

It's like one of those irregular verbs from Yes, Minister:

• I am straight to the point
• You are a bit abrupt
• He is dreadfully rude

Brilliant! :T

We are frank
You (plural) are harsh
They are terribly critical

To the OP. First things first. To many people, windows installed in the last 2/3 years and a boiler installed in the last 2/3 years would be considered to be new. Many houses are 100 years plus old. Many boilers are 20 years old. Before we get into whether you would have a hope in hell of claiming anything from anyone, i am not sure that anything you have been told would even be considered to be inaccurate.

I blame those who need "autocorrect" because they are either too lazy or not sufficiently literate to rely on their own command of English: Generation appless/generation hapless.

I normally use a laptop and I touch-type. Recently due to a slight disagreement between laptop and a cup of coffee, I was using a tablet which meant basically poking each letter with a finger. I now appreciate why predictive text and autocorrect are so popular!
