Previous owner asking to buy back property!

Sounds like because you wouldn't give in and sell back to them they are now using solicitors and vexatious allegations to get back at you. Out of interest have you told the sister about this letter? She could be an ally as she'll know if it's true.

I would always be tempted when a solicitor's spurious letter arrives to make a single reply "I refer you to the reply given in Arkell and Pressdram" and ignore further correspondence.

I have no idea when the perfectly serviceable "pouffe" became footstool. I'd suggest referring to this thread as the "pouffe in the loft" or "buried pouffe" for reference.

Ah, Arkell v Pressdram, Over 50 years old and it still makes me laugh.

Can't be long before Steven Spielberg starts to show interest in this gripping narrative.

Well, I hope for the OP's sake it's not Stephen King!

Have just looked up “Arkell v Pressdram”.

lol!

I do remember one occasion on here when someone was advised to use Arkell vs Pressdram and did so in a formal response because they took the advice at face value hadn't first looked it up to check what it was.
People really should do their own checking but I do feel those offering A vs  P advice should also be careful about how they do so.

Not Stephen Spielberg, more of a quirky sitcom. But who do we get to play the major characters?

for some reason I'm imagining something based in or near Royston Vasey with some of the cast from League of Gentlemen being the previous owners.   Maybe Martin Freeman as the OP due to that worried look.

Might be worth speaking to your Sol about an injunction or something. A none contact rule or something. They sound totally mental.
