Formality as in. If it's what they say... I.e adequate to build then no problem sale continues and it's now our patched up drive and my 500 quid to a builder.

If the ball is in our court then I dont know what to do with the ball. As nothing has changed.
I've still made an offer that is accepted. Docs on the way. I want to check the extension is ok.

Wouldnt the end result still be the same.

They activly say we dont want to sell to you anymore because you want to check the walls. Surely that's their action.

All I can do is say ok I wont check. Can I please please buy your mystery house, I promise I wont ask anymore questions.

Which leads to a further discussion. In theory then the vendor can say you cant check anything they choose.....inside a certain room because they lost the key... or cant check the roof space because the ladder makes marks on the floor or you cant check the roof etc etc....possibilities are endless.

There are other ways to check things also and none have been presented or suggested by agent or vendor which leads me to think those mystery foundations are inadequate.

Just looking for some perspective.

Withdraw your offer and find a different house. You have reached a stalemate. Find one where the sellers either know the answers or are willing to let you find out.



I personally wouldn't deal with the sellers of the house that you are trying to buy at the moment because they are being obstructive. Either they want to sell the house or they don't. At the moment they are going the right way about not selling it.
