We know what vacant possession is. The vendor had offered it. The tenant clearly had no intention of leaving. Therefore the vendor cannot promise vacant possession in a reasonable timescale, and the buyer didn't bother going further.diystarter7 said:
I'll make one attempt to clearly demonstrate the poster did not say that and below is their post in full.Ath_Wat said:
It absolutely did say that in their post. What did you think "The tenant met him at the door with a big smile - and a long list of problems that he expected his 'new landlord' to sort out as soon as he bought the property." meant?diystarter7 said:
You never said that in your post I quoted which did not make sense it was contradictory. Thanks for additional info no makesSilvertabby said:
He was told by the vendor that the tenant would be out by the time they were due to exchange, but the tenant appeared to have other ideas....diystarter7 said:
"vacant possession" means just that. I'm a bit lost about your contradictory post. Why would a possible buyer having met the T live there not go ahead and buy if the property is being offered with vacant possession as you stated.Silvertabby said:A work colleague viewed a house on the understanding that it was being offered as 'vacant possession'The tenant met him at the door with a big smile - and a long list of problems that he expected his 'new landlord' to sort out as soon as he bought the property.End of viewing.

"vaccant possession" is just that an empty house.Today at 2:04PM edited Today at 2:04PMA work colleague viewed a house on the understanding that it was being offered as 'vacant possession'The tenant met him at the door with a big smile - and a long list of problems that he expected his 'new landlord' to sort out as soon as he bought the property.End of viewing.
That's about as simple as I can make it.That's it in a nutshell. The vendor said that it was to be sold as vacant possession, not that it was vacant at the time of the viewing.
