It was like when we wanted to visited the property it was said by her that owner will do the viewing she will not be available and whenever we said something she use to say let me talk to owner will get back to you.

Right, but how did you find out that she was the owner?

When we went to state agent office to get the house key we found her there and when asked do you work here she said she just joined them which of course is false we had met the owner when we went for viewing. She used to live there with her 2 kids.

That doesn’t answer my question. Please be clearer and don’t just use ‘she’!

And please call the estate agent an estate agent, not "state" agent.

The women in the house told us she is the owner when we went for viewing and same women was in estate agent office today and told us she just joined the estate agency and have moved to hotel for time being. We never visited estate agent office before so we had never met with the person who was dealing with us on phone.

But doing the process there was one argument which came up at that time that state agent advertised the house as 4 bedroom whereas 4 bedroom was a dormer conversion which didn't had building regulation approval as state agent said that it was probably done 30 years ago so it is not required but they can advertised it as 4 bedroom house. Whereas i find out that when lender brought the property, it was advertised as 3 bedroom. As this all issue came out just before exchange of contract so i let it go as house valuation was same what we agreed before. Even my home buyer report value the property which we agreed.

Ah, the old "What is a bedroom?"

It's a room with a bed in. There is no other definition that overrides that.

I believe you cant call any room as bedroom unless it is habitable safe and having necessary regulatory approvals. If i put a bed in lawn with a shed can i call it a bedroom as well?

Your belief is over-simplistic to the point of being completely wrong.

The shed would be an ancillary building.

But it isn't a bed in a shed is it.


You can put a bed in the living room, the lounge, just about any room that's big enough accept a bed (or beds), or even a smaller bunk-bed or cabin-bed. Which regulatory approvals are you referring to?

In any event, it's got nothing to do with whether the seller was also the estate agent or not.
