    I'd be wary they they are trying to make another building plot
  • If you're having a mortgage to buy the property, you'll have to check the lender is happy with this change.


    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.

    That's a massive chunk of land, not just a little access strip or whatever. I would refuse or pull out. They're taking the PXXX

    What do they want it for? Are they planning to build on it.....side and back!!
  • Pull out, either way you’ll end up feeling resentful or they will!

    Cleared - £102,222

    Jan 2022 - Now time to build suitable investments and a business!

    That change will significantly devalue that property compared to what you offered.

    It it was me I would pull out of the purchase because I wouldn't want to live next door to someone who thought that doing this at this late stage was acceptable. They should have sorted it before they put the house on the market.

    It's this.  Surely?  Building another property right next to yours would certainly devalue it. Walk.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    They wanted to use the land to extend the garden of the carehome no idea why they needed anymore garden as it’s already big enough, and what they was taking of our garden would’ve been pointless.

    Mandy Rice-Davies applies.

    If you're not of my generation, you may need to look it up. :)
