Issues with property after completion

Yeah most of those questions have been answered not known in the property information form I completed.

As long as "not known" is an accurate statement, that's ok.

But for example, if you were asked if the property has suffered from subsidence, and you said "not known" - but you do "know" that it has had subsidence - that would be misleading.

@jcuurthht - "not known" is fine, it is not your property, you are selling it as executor and simply can't be expected to know everything (or anything) about it.

Our vendor wrote 'not known' to heaps of things. Her estranged husband was in prison and we accepted it was difficult for her.Glad they kept him in for the full term though; he was guilty of 'bodgeritis' as well, but we knew that!

Just be honest,
Don't hide anything when asked.
Don't try to guess answer something IE if you don't know, say it, 'DON'T KNOW' or 'not to my knowledge.'

Neighbour disputes, 'not to my knowldge'

Bottom line, be honest and if you don't know, you don't know. If you do try to hide something, it will bite you later.
