Leak problem after selling a house

  • I read through his messages again from last week and he says about his solicitor contacting my architect (the architect will not know anything about the tradesmen I used). I assume the architect is bound by client confidentiality? Ive nothing to hide but now the guy has !!!!ed me off, I don't actually want the architect discussing anything with him

    The architect shouldn't be discussing your information with anyone without your permission - that is very straight forward.

    As for the buyer - block them. I'd never swap numbers and deal directly with anyone buying my house. Simple reason being that's what I pay the estate agent and solicitors to deal with.

    Stop answering the phone / block them. Enjoy a quiet Christmas! For building work that old they haven't a hope of the resolution they want.

    I would hope his solicitor would have enough sense to tell him that's a daft idea. I can't see your architect wasting their time by entering into a discussion.

    Just shows how much the buyer knows about the conveyancing or building process. Nothing.

    OP, Block them. You have no need to know them, so don't.
