I'd agree .. do not correspond with them at all.0

As long as you didn't hide anything during the selling process the building could collapse on the day of completion and it's not your problem.0

I wouldn't even reply at all. Not even to say it's not your responsibility/concern, as that will just start a dialogue.0

Lol, do they think they’ve got an extended warranty?0

You say they were aproblem in the sale.
Did you give in to them in anyway? That would be "open season" as far as some tools are concerned.
Either ignore. Or reply with "NO" in a suitably large font. (or something less polite!)0 -
Donot engage with them. Any reply, whatever you say, will simply lead to further communication from them.
Do not reply. Keep their letter just in case they are mad enough to take it further.0 -
I would send a short response along the following lines.
"Dear Sir/Madam
I am sorry to hear that there are issues with the ceiling. I did not have any issues with the ceilings whilst I lived in the property. No work was done to them at all except a touch of paint when I initially moved in years ago.
Of course the house is now your property and your responsibility, and is no longer my concern.0 -
I wouldn't reply either. Let them take it further, you have nothing to lose.0

Of course the sensible advice is to not reply at all but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist sending something like this. I’d really want them to know that I thought they were ridiculous.0
