PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Just tell her that you wish to proceed with the purchase despite this issue and are happy to sign a disclaimer regarding this issue.
    She's not worried about you, she's covering her derriere.
    Thank you! Have emailed this request to her today! Fingers crossed...

    Is there no boundary fence? Though not sure why this would be a legal issue, especially when the boundary is presumably clear from where the ground starts sloping
    No fence, but clear delineation between grass and slope. The legality of it is foxing me too. Conveyancer proving elusive today.

    Friday is the busiest completion day and takes priority over transactions which are not so far advanced.  Now that you've told the solicitor to go ahead and are willing to sign a disclaimer, fingers crossed it will proceed again shortly.
  • It must be something the vendor has put on one of the forms which has spooked the conveyancer, otherwise how on earth would they know about the lack of fence/slope/maintenance?
  • She’s just emailed to say it’s all sorted - last enquiry satisfied. Now to review the file and set an exchange date!!! 🎉

    Great. I'm claiming Edinburgh Castle as the visual extension to my kitchen. 
  • Make sure there's no Japanese knotweed on it.
