Guarantee rights in extenuating circumstances

How was this dealt with at the time of your purchase? Was it made a condition of your purchase contract that the vendor assign the guarantee? Or just left as a loose understanding between you that they'd do it? They might have had an extenuating reason for not getting round to it, but why didn't you (or your solicitor) follow up on it?

The T&Cs we have for it that were passed on during conveyancing make no mention of it needing to be transferred, so this was not followed up on. (We are currently taking the conservatory company’s word for it, which of course will be followed up on, I just wanted to understand our position first.)

There were other guarantees that specifically stated needed to be transferred and those were checked, everything else was left with a general loose understanding. Our bad. 

I’m not going to pursue the vendor even if there is a case for them to answer as I value decency more. I don’t believe the solicitor has anything to answer to either. 

In which case you have no rights to pursue.

In which case you have no rights to pursue.

Thank you.
