Mid sold property

We are trying to find out the name of the builder. Don't know what it was used for, the water company said the blockage was tissue and wet wipes!! The seller must have realised there was a problem as the toilet took about 2 hours to empty!! The annoying part is, she was aware of my husband's mobility problem and how important a downstairs toilet is to us.

Do you know how long the seller owned the property before they sold it? Do you know when this toilet was added. Could be the seller was none the wiser. Doubt you were mis-sold, your survey missed it and now its your problem.

We have reported this to our solicitor who seems very reluctant to pursue further action. Any advice would be very welcome.

I wonder why the solicitor seems very reluctant to pursue further action?


It could mean that it comes to light that the solicitor did not act with due regard when dealing with your purchase. Or it could mean you haven't a hope in hell of gaining anything by pursuing the vendor.

Against who?  The vendor should have had the issue rectified when it first came to light. Perhaps they tried and reached a dead end. 

As you only quoted half of my post, perhaps you only read half
