The buyer of my old house contacted me about something several months after we'd sold. I did not answer as I was so astounded that they'd had the nerve to ask - they had truly been the buyers from hell and caused us no end of difficulties throughout the sale process. So as far as I was concerned, it was their problem and I wasn't going to help them.

Spiteful? Yes. Most definitely. But no more than they deserved.

I often wonder if they cut through the pipe they were asking about and what happened as a result. It gives me a small feeling of satisfaction, knowing full well what the pipe was for . . .

I guess you are very confident that the mail forwarding service works without the odd item of mail slipping through the net.

Thank you for your responses. I have plumbing and drains cover so cost is not an issue, we have no intentions of doing the work ourselves. They leak cannot be isolated but thought to be under the bath. The bath has been installed to a high quality and the finish is immaculate so the access panel will be behind the tiled bath panel if there is one. The plumber will need to do investigative work which may mean removing various panels as all pipework is hidden, again no issues with this it has to be done. It is just a question I should have asked at the time is there Access and iff so where. It would be better to know rather thank disturb tiles unnecessarily. That is all we need answered and we have no legal right to pursue them for anything and wouldn’t. things happen in houses old or new. If I
was contacted by the person who bought
my old property I would endeavour to
assist if I could and yes it would be helpful
to find out where the tiles came from
should they need replaced.:o

so the access panel will be behind the tiled bath panel

Is the plumbing not under the bath behind the tiled panel?

Have you checked whether the tiled panel is screw on/screw off (with the screws hidden behind small plastic covers)?

Or is there any possibility that there are magnetic fittings holding the panel?
