selling house with problem neighbour - moral dilemma

Hi all, could do with some opinions. I currently have an offer accepted on my house. Main reason for selling is issues with one neighbour. EA has now informed me that neighbour has been on the phone to them threatening to sue them (EA). EA telling me they are 'sorting it' but being very evasive. I am in a dilemma. I am thinking of contacting buyers direct to let them know what is going on. I don't trust EA to be honest with them, and would hate them to move in and have problems. Am I being an idiot?

Threatening to sue them for what?0

If the neighbours are threatening to sue the EA, I can't see what that has to do with your potential buyers? Or what the EA could be sued for.1

There is a question on the property form about and neighbour disputes, so depending on the problem it may well need do be declared there. If it is a personal problem or personality clash it might not need to be declared, but check with your solicitor before signing the form.
It would help if you could give a brief unemotional outline of the problem as viwed by both parties.Credit card debt - NIL

Is this the neighbour you were trying to do a land swap with?

I agree with the comment about summarising it briefly in the property information form. It’s then up to the buyers to ask more0

Anyone can sue anyone for anything - it doesn't mean they will win.
This doesn't sound like a neighbour dispute, just a bit of an odd bod next door with an obsession for suing people.
Has the neighbour done anything specific that warrants it to be a dispute? What specifically is the issue with the neighbour?Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)1
